Under the terms of its PIC call-off contract with Historic Scotland, Kirkdale Archaeology was asked to undertake an archaeological watching brief during the digging of four trenches to house new sign boards on Inchcolm Island in the Firth of Forth. Though the trenches were shallow, the long history and multi-phase nature of occupation on the island meant that there was archaeological potential within them. A record was also made of the removal of the existing sign boards.
