Abstract:		 Trial trench evaluation identified a number of archaeological features, comprising a cluster of pits and two ditches. On the basis of recovered artefacts and botanical evidence, the features appear to range in date from the prehistoric through to post medieval periods. A length of ditch revealed adjacent to a scheduled prehistoric enclosure at the east of the site is likely to be contemporary with it, while segments of ditch exposed to the west appear to be of 16th/17th century origin. They may be associated with Seton Collegiate church, founded in the 13th century, or the16th century Seton Palace. The cluster of pits appears to vary in age from prehistoric to medieval, despite their proximity, and include a probable medieval charcoal production pit. The small number of features recorded can be attributed in part to the fact that glacial deposits appear to have undergone significant erosion; with topsoils migrating down slope. The long history of agriculture in the area has presumably truncated away a significant portion of the archaeological record through ploughing.
