Abstract:		 Excavations at 119-125 Marygate, Berwick-upon-Tweed revealed evidence for the development of the site from the 13th/14th centuries through to the 19th century. The history of development of this small plot mirrors the development of the town itself. The presence of several large corn drying ovens reflect the town's prosperity up to the 14th century and their subsequent abandonment reflects the decline of the area during the Border conflicts. Following a period of stagnation security and prosperity returned to the town and this is seen on the site in a succession of developments which saw the expansion of buildings from the street frontage toward the rear of the property during the 16th/17th centuries. A cesspool which was subsequently converted into a septic tank in the late 18th/19th centuries reflects improvement in civic hygiene and suggests that Berwick may have been ahead of its time. The artefact assemblage from the site is one of the largest recovered from a single investigation within Berwick and the results have greatly added to the corpus of information with regard to the towns past and development.
