NS 4849 6388 Limited archaeological investigations were
carried out, 18–23 September 2017, in the area immediately
surrounding the medieval drain at Paisley Abbey. Although
the foundations of tenement buildings, demolition material
and recent levelling deposits were identified in the two
trial trenches, there were areas of potentially undisturbed
archaeological deposits. In addition to the trial trenching,
geophysical survey was undertaken in the area to the W of
the drain. During the investigation, schools, local groups
and visitors were able to take part in workshops within the
abbey, take part in the dig and attend lunchtime talks about
the project in the abbey. Overall almost 1000 people engaged
with the project over the course of the week.
