Watching Brief (March 1997)
A watching brief was undertaken by Kirkdale Archaeology in March 1997, while a deep water mains trench was cut down the SW side of Pansport Road, Elgin. A section of Elgin Cathedral's precinct wall ran adjacent to the trench at its NW end. The evidence did not contradict the idea that the area had previously been a medieval water meadow, with wet grazing.
