NN 0182 1455 A programme of archaeological evaluation works was undertaken by AOC Archaeology Group on the site of a proposed extension to the School at Dunning. Eight trenches were excavated. Trenches 1-3 recorded a linear ditch 2.7 m wide and 1 m deep cutting the natural drift geology 1 m below the ground level. No datable finds were recovered from the fills of this ditch. A stone wall depicted on the 1901 Ordnance Survey was also recorded within these three trenches. No features or artefacts of archaeological significance were recorded in trenches 4-8. It is not known what the ditch feature represented although given the towns early origins it is possible that it could represent an early boundary ditch.
