From NT 25375 73515 to NT 25507 73532 A watching brief was undertaken, 30 October – 14 December 2012, during ground-breaking work associated with the replacement of a low pressure gas main. A large arched tunnel constructed of mortar bonded sandstone was recorded below the roundabout opposite the Hub, and it runs from Castlehill in the direction of Upper Bow. Two negative features were also recorded in the service trench; the first opposite the Camera Obscura and the second opposite the Ramsay Lane Reservoir. The former produced a single fragment of 13th-century Scottish White Gritty Ware.
