Exploring the Medieval

Evidence of life along the river in the Medieval period is in no short supply, ranging from massive castles and abbeys that dominate the landscape to lost villages known only from historic maps.

Uncovering the Tweed has explored evidence for deserted villages including the supposed settlement and hospital adjacent to the site of Horndean Church (now ruinous), investigated the context of a significant coin hoard at Drumelzier, explored the supposed site of an early chapel at the Till-Tweed confluence, and identified and excavated a moated site at Fairnilee that was not previously recorded.
