NO 188 164 A watching brief was undertaken on contractors' foundation excavations in January 1996. The investigation failed to record any distinctive features associated with the original monastic settlement of Abernethy. One sherd of medieval pottery found on the site probably originated from the manuring of the worked land using household waste. The one archaeological feature that was investigated was not considered significant and its most likely interpretation is a reused post-hole of relatively recent date.
