GUARD Archaeology Ltd were commissioned by RG Licence Architect, acting on behalf of St Andrews Church, to undertake an archaeological watching brief during the exploratory excavation of a proposed extension to St Andrews Church in Kelso. This work revealed no features of archaeological interest with much of the excavated material comprising of topsoil deposit or made ground associated with the construction of a pathway. Several small fragments of human bone were located and likely relate to the earlier 1769 church which occupied the site prior to the construction of the present church in 1868.
