During construction work, a deep cut was made into the natural clay on the presumed line of the Antonine Wall and ditch, 100m W of the NW corner of Bearsden Roman fort (NS57SW 3). No trace of the stone base of the wall was observed. The S lip of the Antonine ditch was pinpointed in two N-S drainage trenches cut close to the existing church and by the W boundary wall of the site, where the ditch alignment is confirmed by cracking in the wall itself. These observations confirmed the line of the Antonine ditch as shown on current OS large-scale maps.
