Archaeology Notes

NS56SE 92 592 648

Roadworks in June 1981 on the south side of Howard Street uncovered

the badly disturbed remains of at least four inhumations. This is almost certainly the site of the burial ground of the old Town

Hospital, which stood nearby from c. 1730 to c. 1850.

D Sloan 1981; J B Kerr and J H McBrien 1981.
