Archaeological Notes

NJ90NW 110 9447 0624.

This site, on the S periphery of the medieval burgh, close to the harbour area, produced little structural evidence. A midden area, possibly associated with dwellings on the Castlegate N of the site, ranged in date from 14th century to post-medieval. In one of the lowest levels of the midden were some sherds of green-glazed Siegburg stoneware, rare in Scotland. Below the midden, three posts may have been remnants of a N-S boundary.
