Suddaby, I. (2009). Two prehistoric short-cists and an early medieval long-cist cemetery with dug graves on Kingston Common, North Berwick, East Lothian . Edinburgh: Society of Antiquaries of Scotland. https://doi.org/10.5284/1017938.

This chapter presents aims and methods, describes the setting and gives a brief history of the site. Archaeological description of the remains is followed by specialist reports on chipped stone, coarse stone, prehistoric, medieval and later pottery and human skeletal remains. Two radiocarbon dates were obtained.

The evaluation has provide evidence for activity which, on artefactual grounds alone, spans six millennia, from the Neolithic to the 20th century. This long-term chronology can be refined to indicate two distinct phases of human burial on the knoll, firstly the short-cists and secondly the early medieval cemetery. Within the latter phase, three sub-phases were recognised, sandstone cists without lintels, volcanic stone cists with lintels and dug burials. There was no evidence of a hiatus within the sub-phases.
