An archaeological excavation was undertaken in 2020 to assess the condition and impact of accidental tree planting on two poorly recorded unenclosed platforms on the hills south of Cardrona, Scottish Borders. The work recorded two round-houses in the centre of the platforms, and excavation focused on Platform 2, revealing evidence of multi-phased occupation. An artefact assemblage of coarse stone tools, stone objects and pottery sherds was recovered. Radiocarbon dating and artefactual evidence suggest a Middle Bronze Age date.

The remains of a pit alignment were excavated to the east of Orchardfield, East Linton, East Lothian by CFA Archaeology Ltd during archaeological mitigation works ahead of a residential development. The excavation revealed an L-shaped alignment which consisted of 49 pits (27 north-south and 22 east-west) with a possible entrance through the east-west alignment. All of the pits in the alignment were either fully or partially excavated. A fragment of a tall D-sectioned cannel coal bangle, dated to the Iron Age, was recovered from one of the pits. Mid-Late Bronze Age pottery was recovered from an isolated pit which did not form part of the pit alignment.

Minor archaeological works completed at Wellmeadow Street, Paisley between 2017 and 2018 have identified evidence of prehistoric activity in the centre of the city. Comprising a single prehistoric feature and a shafthole stone, the finds from these works demonstrate the importance of archaeological mitigation, even in areas of low expectation.

The results from archaeological fieldwork between 2014 and 2016 at Burdiehouse, Edinburgh, have revealed evidence of structures, pits and enclosures related to rural settlement and activity ranging across the Early Medieval period from the 7th century AD up to the 12th century AD. A suite of features included a truncated stone platform, remains of a small post-built building with a hearth and numerous pits, postholes and curvilinear ditches. In addition, a circular clay-lined kiln was recorded. Radiocarbon dating indicates that while the building and hearth, the stone platform and numerous of the pits, postholes and linear features related to activity between the 7th and 10th centuries AD, the kiln was a later feature, dated to the 12th century AD. The evidence for rural Early Medieval settlement sites as identified at Burdiehouse is limited but recent work has emphasised how important they are for understanding everyday activity in this period.
