Does the solution to this new mystery cast light on an old mystery?

Last Wednesday the rumours were going around about human remains found on Musselburgh Old Golf Course (on Musselburgh links, within the circuit of Musselburgh Race Track), and the local papers at the weekend confirmed that this was a human skull, of some age, which was being examined by archaeologists from Dundee University.
Now this news story:

reveals that the skull, of a 'mid-to-late teenage' woman is 2500 years old, and perhaps comes from an Iron Age cemetery --- presumably of the Votadini?.
So that's the 'new mystery'; the 'old mystery' is that one of the holes on the Musselburgh course is traditionally called 'The Graves', and the local lore is that this is because some of the fallen from the Battle of Pinkie Cleugh (1547) were buried in this area.
I was always puzzled by this, because the core of the battle was at least half-a-mile to the south, on the 25m high plateau between Inveresk, Carberry and Wallyford, and the main slaughter occurred in a corridor stretching away westwards towards Edinburgh, Dalkeith and Leith.  The only well-attested burial site was discovered in the 19th century during the construction of the East Coast Mainline railway, which crosses this plateau in a cutting.  William Patten describes such a burial of English dead on the battlefield itself, and also says that, when he returned to the scene a week later, some Scots bodies had been buried in Inveresk churchyard, but many still lay where they had fallen.
So is it possible, that the origin of the 'Graves on the golfcourse' legend is that, at some time, other Iron Age burials have been uncovered their, and that those who found them simply assumed without much evidence that they were the remains of some of the dead of Pinkie Cleugh?

Community Drama -- an Exciting New Development!

20 - 30 local people attended our public presentation/discussion, which took place in the Brunton Hall on December 10th, 2012.  The Chairman, Roger Knox, and I outlined the Pinkie Cleugh-related developments that had occurred since our inaugural meeting 18 months ago........

and there was a warmly-welcomed presentation by Susan Marrins of her project with the P4/5 class at Wallyford Primary:

We also introduced the plan for a Battlefield Trail project, supported by 'All Our Stories' HLF funding, and described in my previous posts on this site.
The meeting completed with extensive interaction and discussion with members of the audience, including Irvine Allen, from Queen Margaret University.  Since that meeting, Irvine has been incubating an exciting plan  for a QMU Community Drama project centred on the Battle of Pinkie Cleugh.  Today, 22nd January, Roger and I had a brief but productive meeting with Irvine and some of the students who may contribute to this production.   The plan is only an outline at the moment, but the needs of the student timetable are even more demanding than our requirement to complete the whole project in September ---- so the project is set to develop dramatically fast!

Pinkie Cleugh Project at Wallyford Primary School

Just before Christmas 2012, P4/5 pupils at Wallyford Primary School presented the results of their class project on the Battle of Pinkie Cleugh to a delighted audience of parents and other visitors.

The class showed the visitors round the exhibits they had prepared around the classroom, and eagerly answered everyone's questions.....

... and then presented a dramatic reconstruction of the events leading up to the battle, and the disastrous defeat for the Scottish army.

The afternoon closed with an interactive quiz --the enthusiasm, interest and knowledge on display was a credit to the class, their teacher, and the school.
