Abstract:

Housing developments at Port Seton provided a unique opportunity for detailed investigation of two adjacent cropmark enclosures. Linked by a series of radiocarbon dates between 400 cal BC and 560 cal AD, the two investigations encompassed studies of the archaeological remains, artefacts, animal bones, plant remains and sediments. The two Fishers Road sites were in contemporary use for at least part of their lives, though the East site probably continued longer, and the nature of their relationship is explored.
