Archaeology Notes

NO12SW 351 1164 2384

See also NO12SW 135,

NO 116 238 This site is located on the Blackfriars lands opposite the site of the Dominican friary where burials, friary buildings, and ditches were excavated in 1983-4 (see NO12SW 135).

During the period September 1997 and January 1998 three phases of work were undertaken: a watching brief on boreholes and test-pits; trial trenches; and a watching brief on ground preparation for piling. Nothing relating to Blackfriars conventional buildings or the burial ground was found. A ditch feature found in the 1983-4 excavation, which pre-dated the burial ground, did not extend onto the site. A buried garden/cultivation soil contained late 18th or early 19th-century pottery, and residual medieval pottery was located 1.4m below the current surface. Make-up layers containing medieval midden material had been imported to raise the site surface at the beginning of the 19th century. Remains of foundations of early 19th-century buildings, demolished in the 1930s to make way for Gloag's, were encountered.
