Abstract:		 An archaeological trial trenching evaluation and metal detecting survey was carried out at Pinkie Mains in advance of a residential development. This area is considered to be part of the core search area for archaeological evidence associated with the Battle of Pinkie which was fought on the 10th September 1547 between an English army led by Protector Somerset and a Scottish army under the Earl of Arran Metal detecting led to the recovery of 25 musket balls. The lead musket balls need not be associated with the Battle of Pinkie and it is more likely that they were associated with later recreational hunting or the nearby Napoleonic Barracks which lay to the northwest of the area. All other finds recovered were identified as being modern in date. Trial trenching uncovered a large number of drainage features relating to 18th/19th century agricultural improvements. The majority of these were rubble drains and ceramic horseshoe drains, but two stone box drains and a large linear ditch feature were also uncovered. The location of the linear ditch feature relates to a field boundary depicted on early Ordnance Survey map editions. Vestigial traces of rig and furrow were also found. There was no evidence of any features associated with the Battle of Pinkie
