NR 7828 9409 An archaeological watching brief was carried out at the Scheduled Ancient Monument of Crinan Harbour Pyroligneous Acid Works (c 1840-90) in May 1999 during the excavation of a new drainage trench across the harbourside road.
A mid-20th-century road surface, overlying redeposited beach sands and gravels containing later 19th-century pottery, was found to overly natural beach deposits. It appears that any earlier harbourside or road was removed during the building of the 20th-century road.
