A watching brief was conducted at NR 85280 85260 during groundbreaking works in preparation for the installation of a pumping station alongside Sea Lock 1 on the Crinan Canal to connect the foul water from the facilities building to the south side of the lock into the mainline sewers in the road (A83). All modern surfaces were recorded and an earlier surface of the breakwater, exposed to the north of the Old Sea Lock Office, was recorded and shown not to extend further west. Various iron fittings were set within this surface. Underlying the modern surfaces was made ground. No features or deposits of archaeological significance were discovered.
