Abstract: |
A watching brief was carried out on a small excavation within the Church of Dryburgh Abbey. The trench was required to allow the installation of a gravestone at the E end of a grave dug previously for Earl Haig. This grave was the subject of an earlier excavation in 2009 which revealed a sequence of human burials, as well as a mass of disarticulated bone, much of it human. This small scale excavation revealed the presence of considerable quantities of bone, much of it doubtless human, although with no indication that any of it was from an in situ articulated burial. This confirms the findings from the earlier work that the site contains a complicated sequence of inhumations, with later burials disturbing earlier ones. The fragments of reddish sandstone are likely derived from the demolished Abbey Church. |
