NS 396 752 Archaeological monitoring and test pitting were carried out during restoration and conservation between October 2002 and July 2003. This work followed on from a desk-based study that concluded that the site lay within the historic core of Dumbarton where medieval and later deposits may survive. The maximum depth of the disturbance was 0.9m below the current ground level. The work produced some medieval pottery dating from the 13th to the 15th centuries, as well as several post-medieval pottery sherds. No medieval structures or deposits were encountered, and it was concluded that the medieval layers from which the pottery derived probably lie at a greater depth.

Report lodged with WoSAS SMR and the NMRS.
