Abstract:		 Further to larger scale excavations in 2006, minor excavations were carried out at Dryburgh Abbey as part of works to improve drainage near the East Range. An underground 'mole' was employed to dig a drain at a depth intended to avoid disturbing any significant archaeological deposits, running from the sump and soak-away just south of the Warming House and carrying excess water away to the ditch to the south of the Novices' Dayroom. Three small trenches were excavated, one an extension of an earlier trench at the sump, and two situated on the north side of the ditch where the 'mole' was set to emerge. The sump trench did not reveal any new features beyond those seen in 2006, believed to relate to 'industrial' activity during the monastic period. Features revealed in the two ditch trenches were thought likely to be of post-monastic date, associated with late 18th- to early 19th-century landscaping. During these excavations a standing building recording exercise was undertaken, examining the exterior north and east walls of the Chapter House. Evidence was seen suggesting the presence of timber structures, including what may have been a substantial timber gallery running around the upper east end of the Chapter House, possibly extending round to the north face of the Northeast Tower.
