A watching brief was conducted in August 2005 on the opening of ditches for an access ramp and a drain at Little Dunkeld Church (NO04SW 26.01). The digging revealed material redeposited in recent times, as indicated by 19th/20th-century finds. The presence of two human teeth can be explained by bioturbation or by accidental cutting of a grave.

NO 028 422 At Little Dunkeld Parish, Little Dunkeld, on 31/08/05 a watching brief was conducted on the opening of ditches for an access ramp and a drain. The digging revealed material redeposited in recent times as indicated by 19th-20th century finds. The presence of two human teeth can be explained by bioturbation or by accidental cutting of a grave and redepositing with the modern material.
