NT48SE 19 4796 8211. NT 4792 8213. A group of long cists was discovered on the 26th December 1968 during the removal of sand on Gullane No 3 Golf Course. The find-spot lay at a height of about 77ft OD, some 165ft W of the main road (A 198). Four adult graves, each containing a well-preserved skeleton, aligned roughly ENE-WSW, were arranged in a row side by side, about 2ft 9 ins apart, and a fifth cist, 2ft 3 ins long, containing the inhumation of a baby, lay to the N. An exploratory trench to the W of these cists revealed the capstones of a sixth long cist, which was not fully excavated. The total number of cists at this site is unknown, but the fact that at least a second row of graves exists suggests that there is a well organised cemetery. There is no record of a chapel. Following the excavation, the cists were left intact, and covered over with sand and turf. An upper quernstone, of Early Christian type, was found nearby some days before the cists were discovered. It was donated to the National Museum of Antiquities of Scotland [NMAS] (Acc No: BB 138). A S Henshall and M J Mountain 1969; 1972; Proc Soc Antiq Scot 1971 NT 4796 8211. The site of this long cist cemetery was pointed out on the ground by Mr Balfour-Melville, the secretary of Gullane Golf Club (who reported the discovery to the excavators). It is now turf-covered.
