NR 7977 9265 Monitoring was carried out, 25–26 February 2008, during ground-breaking works in the car park next to the marina, including the removal of the wall surrounding the W edge of the car park.
All the ground-breaking work was very shallow, 200mm deep or less. Very little of archaeological interest was
revealed, but features related to Crinan Basin may survive at greater depth. Looking at the bank of the canal from a pontoon, wooden edging and fixtures of unknown age were visible at c500mm below the level of the car park. The removed wall was probably the oldest feature seen. The boundary appears to be marked on the 1873 1:10560 OS map of Argyllshire.
