Two sites in the Lothians which were *destroyed relatively recently*; Muirhouses Standing Stone Was at NT539787 (Sheet 66) Described as a massive boulder- 4.5 ft high by a whopping 11'4" in girth. It stood on the summit of a low broad ridge. It was destoyed sometime between 1913 and 1975. It was said to have marked the northern limit of a battle which was fought here in the 9th Century. Muirhouses South Standing Stone Was at NT540780 (Sheet 66) Described as being approx 4.5 ft high by 9' in girth. The stone slanted to the north at an angle of 33 degrees. The base was packed with small boulders. It stood on the crest of a low ridge and was said to have maked the southern limit of the aforementioned battle. This stone was destroyed in *January 1989*! These stones stood approx 700 metres from each other and were intervisible. |

Spartleton Cairn (Cairn(s)) — Fieldnotes |
| 20/03/2011 - Good parking at east side of bridge over Whiteadder Resr (NT 64576421). We followed track north then east to Gamelshiel Castle. Bit of a pull up from here to get to the cairn on summit of Spartleton Hill. View's changed a bit since Martin's fieldnotes, big wind farm to north now. |

Berwick Law (Sacred Hill) — Fieldnotes |
| 20/02/2010 - Big car park at NT 55308427 on the west side of North Berwick Law. Path up the hill is short but steep. Fantastic 360 view, Bass rock etc. Very cold February day when we were there. Well worth a visit. |
