Abstract:		 In September 2013, East Lothian Council Archaeology Service undertook a community excavation on the Green in Dirleton, as part of East Lothian Archaeology and Local History Fortnight. The project was organised with Gullane and Dirleton History Society. The excavation followed an earthwork survey carried out with Gullane and Dirleton History Society and a geophysical survey of the site undertaken by Edinburgh Archaeological Field Society in 2012. These surveys suggested that there were at least two buildings on the Green, that had disappeared by the time of Roy's map in 1750. The excavation uncovered one of the buildings, and showed that the other one did not exist. The building that was excavated appears to have been a substantial stone building, that was demolished in about the 15th or 16th century. A number of interesting artefacts were found during the dig, including several thimbles, an early 17th century pipe bowl and several coins including an 1895 silver thruppence. A number of sherds of medieval pottery were recovered from the demolition layers of the building. During the five days of excavation, 70 volunteers took part in the dig, nearly 400 people visited the site, and 40+ school children from Dirleton got involved. E Jones 2013.
