A series of five trial pits were excavated within the Scheduled Monument covering a section of the Antonine Wall at Chattan Works, Bonnybridge to identify the nature of ground that was impacted by the erection of a steel palisade fence. These test pits showed that these construction works did not generate an adverse physical impact on significant archaeological features or artefacts associated with the Antonine Wall.

Further, the information gathered does not contradict the inferred site history of this location being a clay-capped landfill site with any remains associated with the Antonine Wall being at depth beneath this landfill.
