In 1995 an evaluation was done by Wessex Archaeology at the Weatherlees Waste Treatment Works. A number of Early/Middle Iron Age features were observed. A spread of pottery and other occupation debris was observed. Further excavation showed a pit and a gully cutting the layer. Finds from this area suggest that they are contemporary with one another and date to the Early/Middle Iron Age. Five sherds of pottery were found and they were dated Late Bronze Age/Early Iron Age, but are thought to be residual. Another pit was found elsewhere in the trench and it too contained Iron Age pottery. (1)
