From August to October 2007, GUARD carried out a monitoring of restoration and conservation works at Alloway Auld Kirk and Kirkyard, South Ayrshire on behalf of ARP Lorimer and Associates. During the removal of the existing public footpath around Alloway Auld Kirk, large quantities of human remains and two previously unmarked graves were uncovered. These remains were disarticulated and had clearly been disturbed at an earlier date, probably during work to create the existing footpath. The human remains have been re-interred in an appropriate manner.
