The grid reference given above is incorrect. The site as described should lie at NS 0895 6452.
Information from RCAHMS (GJW) 27 March 2001.
NS 089 645 A programme of archaeological investigative works was undertaken on 10-11 October 2007 in respect of
a proposed development on land to the rear of 31/33 Bishop Street, Rothesay. The works comprised three trenches, located at the eastern edge of the footprint of the proposed development. The trenches revealed a sequence of accumulation and redeposition which, at its earliest, was approximately datable to the occupation of the Parish School House throughout the 19th century. Any traces of previous occupation have been removed from the site by later landscaping and the slope deposits, washed down from higher areas, contained no man-made material.
