A watching brief was maintained during the excavation of foundations for a new development at the corner of Lade Street and Gateside Street in the area of presumed medieval settlement. The site lies c 40m E of the site of the medieval parish church of St Columba (NS25NW 13).
No pre-19th century features were identified, but up to 0.9m of 'made ground' was observed in the sections of foundation trench excavated. Given the difficulties caused both by the weather and the early site clearance, the results must be seen as inconclusive.
