NS 8035 7885 An archaeological evaluation and watching brief were carried out between the B618, the Forth Clyde Canal, and E of Allandale Cottages. The aim of the works was to recommend the route for an access road with least archaeological impact, and monitor the laying and uplift of the temporary road. The upper sediment fill of the Antonine ditch was revealed; this surface dated to the 18th-19th century. The remnants of an upcast bank were revealed at the western end of the site.
