Due to the potential for groundworks within the Old Parish Churchyard in Falkirk to encounter graves, human remains, grave-slabs and headstones dating from as early as the medieval period, an archaeological watching brief was undertaken by GUARD Archaeology Ltd for the Falkirk Town Regeneration works. The watching brief encountered a number of walls, some fragments of early modern gravestones and a substantial amount of disarticulated human bones. The human bones were re-interred at NS 887800 within the graveyard at the completion of the groundworks.
