Archaeology Notes

NO50SW 20 549 026.

A fortified gateway stood close to the present Episcopal Church (NO 549 026). Lyon considers that this was the East Port of Pittenweem, spanning the Marygate, as there is a record of a stair and passage going over it from the Priory grounds to the other side of the street.

W F Lyon 1893
