NT 4432 6901 A watching brief was carried out, November 2011 – January 2012, during groundworks relating to the upgrading of footpaths and the installation of drainage and footpath lighting in the grounds of Pencaitland Parish Church Cemetery. The human remains encountered during these works, both in situ articulated burials and redeposited charnel, were recovered and reburied, either as close to their original positions as possible, or in charnel caches whose locations were recorded. Exposed grave slabs, footings and boundary markers were cleaned and photographed. Architectural remains relating to a previous churchyard entrance and a former boundary wall were also recorded.
