Under its call-off contract with Historic Scotland, Kirkdale Archaeology was required to monitor the excavation of two small holes for the insertion of finger posts in the grounds of Kinneil House, Bo’ness, Falkirk (NGR NS 981805). The grounds of the Kinneil Estate potentially contain evidence relating to the Antonine Wall as well as the late medieval tower and subsequent House and grounds of the Dukes of Hamilton (Stevenson 1995, 78-9 & 128-9). It is clear that nothing of archaeological significance was disturbed by the holes for the insertion of finger posts. No finds were kept.
