Watching Brief (11 October 2018)
Archaeological monitoring works were carried out in support of development work on land to the west of Panmure Testimonial. A trench was excavated running southeast-northwest from the monument to a nearby telephone pole. The archaeological works were designed to mitigate the impact on the archaeological remains within the development area.
The monitoring works did not identify any significant archaeological features or artefacts.
