Activities

Archaeological Evaluation (4 February 2008 - 29 February 2008)

NO 116 224 An evaluation was carried on 4–29 February 2008 as part of a redevelopment programme. The site had originally been a Napoleonic prisoner-of-war camp and was subsequently converted into Scotland’s first general prison. A single trench was excavated, next to the category B-listed hospital block, which revealed both the position of the 1811 perimeter wall of the prison and stone and concrete structures associated with 20th-century activity.
