Archaeology Notes

NT96SW 134 9461 6440

For Eyemouth Harbour (NT 9460 6460 to NT 9454 6411) and associated buildings, see NT96SW 76.00.

(Location cited as NT 947 644). Warehouses, Eyemouth, probably late 18th century. Two impressive rubble buildings, probably designed as granaries. One, facing the harbour, is a four-storey, eight-bay block; the other, at the rear, is a four-storey, five-bay structure. There are also smaller two- and three-storey warehouses in the harbour area.

Activities

Standing Building Recording (February 1989)

Instructions were received from the Scottish Development Agency on 5th July 1988 to carry out a dimensional survey of property at Marina Parade, Eyemouth. The S.D.A. were funding this survey to allow a structural assessment to be made of the various buildings adjacent to the Harbour Master's Office and the Contentented Sole public house. This study was required to allow Berwickshire District Council to promote housing redevelopment in this area. Our findings are outlined in detail on pages 2-17 but in our opinion the buildings have deteriorated to such an extent that they should be demolished and the site cleared for future redevelopment.
