Abstract: An overview of archaeological excavation and research in one of the smaller burghs shows surprisingly good preservation of deposits, especially beneath wind-blown sand, and evidence of the burgh's origins, topography, development and industries.The early importance of pilgrimage, the role of the Cistercian nunnery and the impact of climate are all subjects for continuing research.This paper is sponsored by Historic Scotland.
