NS 876 803 An excavation and standing building survey were undertaken in April 2005 in advance of a housing development on the site of the former Tophill Boatyard. The standing building and archaeological evidence showed that the remains were in accord with cartographic evidence. The graving dock was shown to have stone-lined stepped sides.

The remains of buildings comprising a carpenter's shop and a smithy, which contained the remains of three furnaces, were excavated. A 2m deep linear stone-built pit was excavated and shown to be most likely a sawpit. The remains of a boatshed with internal structures including machine plinths, anchors, brick surfaces and a slipway were also excavated.
