Two cuts were made parallel to High Street, and a few feet from it, a little to the south of the junction with Ingram Street. Greyfriars Wynd was sectioned but was found to be heavily disturbed. Foundations of buildings, with documentation going back to 1599 were located. They incorporated chamfered blocks possibly robbed from the site of the Blackfriar's across the road after the Reformation. Only modern finds were made. The natural clay appeared at 10" to 2' 4" beneath the surface.
E Talbot 1969.
