A programme of archaeological works was required by Link Group in support of site investigation works undertaken prior to residential development work at the former Ravenscraig Hospital site, Greenock. The works were designed to mitigate any adverse impact on the archaeological remains within the development area.
No significant archaeological remains were uncovered. Made ground was found within one trial pit in the west which appeared to relate to extensive landscaping during the initial construction of the Smithston Poorhouse and Asylum at the end of the 19th century.
