Archaeology Notes

NT27NE 1553 c. 260 761

NT 260 761 Part of an articulated human skeleton was partially disturbed by construction work in November 2002; it was represented only by the lower legs in a truncated grave cut aligned N-S. No specific date could be assigned to the burial. While the alignment may suggest an early, pre-Christian date, modern artefacts were recovered from the layer into which the grave was cut. Following recovery, a controlled topsoil strip of the rest of the development area was undertaken. No further burials were identified.

Report lodged with Edinburgh SMR and the NMRS.
