Watching Brief (18 April 2011)
NS 602 656 A watching brief was undertaken 18 April 2011 during the excavation of 18 small pits for trees in the N burial ground at Glasgow Cathedral. The pits mainly contained an infill of industrial waste material, which was probably brought in to level up the ground around the time that the original Royal Infirmary was built at the end of the 18th century. No significant archaeological remains or features were recorded.
