NT 4667 7995 In October 2008 Abercorn Archaeology LLP conducted an archive appraisal and monitored strip of a vacant plot of land on Haddington Road, Aberlady. The work was commissioned by Mr and Mrs Collins and was conducted in fulfilment of a condition to planning consent for the construction of a single dwelling. The site lies within the village of Aberlady which has early medieval origins. The archaeological monitoring was carried out whilst the building contractor was removing tree stumps and stripping topsoil. Several features were recorded including a probable medieval midden/garden soil deposit, a medieval or post-medieval drain, probable post-medieval boundary features, and a modern drain. Sherds of Scottish White Gritty Ware pottery were recovered from the putative midden/garden soil and from the medieval/post-medieval drain.
