Abstract:		 Trial Trench Evaluation - A trial trench evaluation at Castle Mains, Dirleton recorded a limited number of features; comprising stone settings and an unexcavated pit. Some of the features may be of some antiquity, a range of buildings are depicted to the north-west of Dirleton castle on Roy's Military map although the exact position of these is hard to place on the ground today. Other settings may be scattered rubble perhaps deriving from the demolition of these structures or demolished walls associated with the sixteenth century gateway or the field boundary depicted on the 1894 Ordnance Survey map but no longer extant today. The pit towards the western end of trench 2 could possibly be an animal burial although this is a tentative interpretation. Finds recovered but not retained appeared, in terms of pottery, to date from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries no medieval pottery or artefacts were seen in any of the trenches.
