| Abstract: |
Excavations across the complex of cropmarks at Inveresk, Musselburgh, East Lothian, revealed a palimpsest of features ranging in date from the late Mesolithic to the early historic period. The bulk of the features uncovered were previously known from cropmark evidence and are connected with either the extensive field system associated with the Antonine Fort at Inveresk or the series of Roman marching camps to the southwest of the field system. The excavation has identified a scattering of prehistoric activity, as well as Roman settlement within the field system, together with dating evidence for one of the marching camps and structures reusing dressed Roman stone. Specialist reports include: Roman pottery; Architectural stone; Metalwork. |
