Abstract:		 Twelve trenches were excavated at Sheriffhall with a total area of 916m², as part of the programme of works for the Borders Railway Project. A number of archaeological features were identified: An earth field bank was present as an upstanding feature. No finds were recovered from this bank and no evidence as to its date was forthcoming. This feature is shown on OS mapping. A rectilinear enclosure defined by earth banks was present on the site. No internal features or finds were recovered to date or provide a function for this feature. This feature is shown on OS mapping. The remains of a well shown on OS mapping was still present on site. A trackway in Trench 8 was known from OS mapping this survived just below the turf line and was visible on the surface. A trackway was identified in Trench 6 which appeared to run alongside the upstanding earth field bank. The trackway survived below the topsoil but overlay the agricultural subsoil. Two pits and a probable ditch were identified in Trench 1 cut in to the natural subsoil. These survived as only vestigial features and no dating evidence was recovered. However Prehistoric pottery was recovered from the sub-soil horizon overlying them. Undated sections of shallow ditch were identified in Trenches 3, 4 and 12.
