Watching Brief (10 May 2016 - 11 May 2016)
An archaeological watching brief was required by Stirling Council with respect to the replacement of a utility trench running through the grounds of Norrieston Church, Thornhill Stirling. The line of the new utility trench ran through an area between the cemetery and main church building, an area considered to be on the boundary of the land on which the previous church stood. The primary objective of the archaeological works was to ensure the survival and if necessary the retrieval of any human remains that would be encountered throughout the excavations. No significant archaeological features were discovered with only a small number of modern white ceramic shards recovered and a single fragment of disarticulated bone.
