Archaeology in the Scottish Borders

The fieldwork of BAG is now scaled down to almost nothing apart from occasional opportunities of rescue work as it presents itself. However, research on the extensive archive of BAG work and indeed that of others in the area will continue for a long time. The emphasis at this time is to consolidate all the work by presenting the entire archive to the National Monuments Records of Scotland.

The next two excavation reports will deal with the long awaited Camps Reservoir excavations of two enclosed cremation cemeteries, and one of the largest projects by the Group; Glenochar Bastle House and Fermtoun. Both reports are expected in the new year of 2017.
