Archaeology Notes

NS56SE 57 58726 60618

(NS 5872 6061) Cathcart parish church was dedicated to St Oswald, probably of 6th century date (OPS 1851; Scott et al 1915-61). The old parish church, built in 1707, was taken down in 1831, when a new church was built (at NS 5887 6060).

New Statistical Account (NSA) 1845; Orig Paroch Scot 1851; H Scott et al 1915-61.

NS 587 606 An evaluation was undertaken in June 2005, comprising two 2 x 4m trial trenches, within the present school

grounds immediately to the S of the churchyard of St Oswald's Church (NS56SE 57). The evaluation aimed to assess the possibility for the survival of human remains or settlement connected to St Oswald's Church, purported to have been founded in AD 642. Both trenches contained a simple soil profile of topsoil derived from parent subsoil, and make-up deposits comprising modern building debris and rubble. No significant archaeological finds or features were identified.

Report lodged with WoSAS SMR and NMRS.
