NS 3843 3141 A programme of archaeological works was undertaken at Symington Parish Church on 18–20 September 2007. This was the second phase of works, following work in 2006/2007. The work consisted of the excavation of two foundation trenches for walls and a trench to allow a new water pipe to be laid. All the trenches had been subject to modern disturbance due to the insertion of an electricity cable, gas pipe,
sewage pipe and water pipe which were all still in use. There was also a disused (and broken) salt glazed clay pipe and an old oil pipe. The only finds were one very small piece of degraded bone and two pieces of modern white china, all in topsoil.
