NS 59281 64646 AOC Archaeology Group was commissioned by Collective Architecture to undertake a watching brief on the SI works at The Briggait, Glasgow.
The watching brief consisted of a mixture of window sample bore holes, larger bore holes and hand dug test pits as well as two machine excavated pits.
The soil matrix mainly consisted of demolition made ground deposits ranging to a depth of c.2.2m. This was overlaying up to 10m of natural sandy clay deposits. Sandstone blocks were removed from a pit near the existing path, further work could be done here to determine if these were for retention or forming a previous building.
