Excavations at the junction of Ingram Street with High Street close to the site of a recently demolished tenement were carried out over a period of four weeks by SUAT as part of their investigation into the growth of the medieval burgh.
A sandstone walled cellar or basement with steps leading down to it and a stone flagged floor was excavated. 19th century pattern transferred earthenware was found underneath part of this floor. The cellar had been deliberately filled with rubble, ironwork and some pottery of mainly 19th century date.
There was no evidence of medieval or post-medieval occupation.
