Abstract:		 Four excavation trenches, located along the southern edge of the school playing field, were investigated during the week-long dig. The earliest artefacts recovered were a few residual sherds of possible Bronze Age pottery that perhaps indicate low-level activity in the area at this time. The majority of the discovered remains date to the Roman period. Earlier Roman features (c.2nd century) included a pit, a gully and a linear baked-clay feature. A fragment of dish recovered from the pit may have been part of a disturbed cremation burial. Late Roman remains comprised three gullies and three pits dated to the 4th century. A substantial quantity of artefacts of a domestic character was recovered from the largest pit. A fragment of a ceramic drinking vessel, collected from a cleaning context, had the name of its probable owner, 'Titianus', scratched upon it. The remains add to the picture of westwards expansion of the Roman town along Stane Street from the 2nd century onwards and decline at the end of the 4th century. No remains of later date were encountered, which is consistent with the area's subsequent agricultural land-use up until the mid-20th century.
