Watching Brief (23 April 2015 - 8 May 2015)
A planning application for the demolition of existing buildings and the erection of a residential development at 11-15 Gauze Street, Paisley has been aqpproved by Renfrewshire Council. A condition attached to the approval required an archaeological watching brief to be undertaken on ground breaking works associated with the development.
The programme of works took place on the 23rd April, 5th, 6th and 8th May 2015 and incorporated monitoring of preparatory groundworks for the foundations. Sub-surface remains associated with a previous structure of late ninteenth century date were observed. It was apparent that the site had been truncated to the level of geological subsoil and levelled with modern deposits. This took place as a result of late 19th century development on the site and later redevelopment on the site.
