Abstract:		 Addyman Archaeology undertook Historic Building Recording, monitoring during site clearance and excavation of test pits at Black Bull Close, High Street, Dunbar, as part of an initial programme of archaeological evaluation of the site. The site is a series of partially derelict buildings, which are proposed for rebuilding and refurbishment, along with the construction of two new extensions. The buildings most likely date to the mid-18th - mid19th century, potentially incorporating earlier 17th century elements. The earliest datable feature on site is the roll moulding on a blocked doorway on Building 1; this type of doorway dates to the 16th / early 17th century. It does not appear to be in situ, but is most probably reused from an earlier building on or near the site. Nine test pits were excavated in Buildings 1 - 5. These revealed clay bonded wall footings of an earlier building along the north side of Building 1. Building 2 displayed a similar sequence, with a series of compact floor deposits comprising coal and firm clay. Building 3 contained a series of cross walls built directly on top of a compact surface. These walls were later than the rear north wall of the Close, which appears to pre-date Building 3. Below the buildings was 1m of medieval and post-medieval midden deposits, containing shell, animal bone and medieval pottery. An east-west boundary ditch was cut into the gravels on the north side of the building, aligned with the present Close wall. Building 4 contained pits cut into a reddish- brown sand, which was directly below the rubble bedding for the concrete floor. These pits also contained midden material. One had traces of clay lining and was over 0.8m in depth. The present ground level of Building 5 was c0.6m above that of the floor of adjacent Building 4, and much of the deposit exposed was of fairly recent date; the lower deposits consisted of reddish brown sand with charcoal flecks, similar to deposits found in Buildings 2 and 4.
