NS 4648 7230. A desk assessment and watching brief were undertaken on a development site immediately S of the Erskine Bridge in Old Kilpatrick. The aim of the project was to try to confirm the existence of a crannog noted at the beginning of the century (NMRS NS47SE 23), and of a possible souterrain (NMRS NS47SE 27). No prehistoric structures were found.
