NS 65277 73987 An evaluation was carried out, 2–4 December 2015, in advance of a proposed extension to the town hall. The work was required as the western extent of the site lies within the defined boundary of the
Antonine Wall, and c75m to the E of one of the Antonine Wall’s forts, which also contains the earthworks of the medieval Kirkintilloch Castle. Four machine excavated trenches (c45m2 equivalent to 13% of the development
area) were excavated across the existing car park. Natural clay was encountered below layers of overburden. No finds or features attributable to the Roman period were uncovered.
