Desk Based Assessment (March 2012)
Headland Archaeology (UK) Ltd was commissioned by DTA Chartered
Architects Ltd to assess the impact that proposed development of land
adjacent to the Forth and Clyde Canal at Southbank Road, Kirkintilloch, may
have on the heritage resource both within and in proximity to the
development area. The proposed scheme consists of the construction of
housing fronting Southbank Road with landscaping of the towpath and
embankment areas lying between this housing and the canal (Figure 1). The
proposed development area, hereafter referred to as the Site, is just under
0.6ha in extent and centred on NGR 265440 673700.
