Abstract:		 This report presents the results of an archaeological excavation undertaken in respect to a proposed development at Dolphingstone Farm, Prestonpans, East Lothian (centred on NGR: NT 37745 73175). The excavation follows the findings of an initial archaeological metal detecting survey and archaeological evaluation undertaken by AOC Archaeology in September 2016. The archaeological evaluation sought to target the crop-marks of a number of features (HER MEL2552) recorded within the site area. The evaluation successfully revealed a trapezoidal enclosure and the survival of a possible barrow, both of these features were thought to be of probable prehistoric date. The archaeological excavation revealed two significant structures lying in close proximity. At the south of the excavation area lay a large Barrow ditch of probable Bronze Age date. The ditch enclosed five internal sub-circular pit features. Two small finds consisting of a piece of carved shale and a flint chunk were retrieved from the Barrow ditch fill. A second structure was located to the immediate north of the Barrow. This consisted of the remains of a trapezoidal structure formed by several beam slots. The Structure was aligned east to west and divided into two areas. The larger westernmost of these revealed the remains of a south facing entrance. Two paired postholes were excavated within the center of the structure. These were placed directly opposite to the entrance. Though appearing sterile of dateable small finds, the structure can possibly be identified on morphological grounds as a possible Early Historic period 'Timber Hall'.
