An archaeological evaluation was carried out in support of the design of an access route onto an existing footpath within the Antonine Wall World Heritage Site at Kinneil Woods, Falkirk. Three trenches, excavated by hand, revealed evidence of 19th or 20th century quarrying cutting into naturally occurring subsoil layers and bedrock. No Roman strata or artefacts were identified in any of the excavated trenches which suggested that the Antonine Wall within the site area had either been fully or partially destroyed by the quarrying or that it may have run further to the south of the site within an adjacent field.
