A series of watching briefs were carried out between October 2000 and December 2001 in Perth city centre: St Catherine's Road. Natural clay underlay the modern road surface and its make-up. Nothing of archaeological interest was observed. There was no trace of any earlier bridge or lade cutting. Some 17m E of the lade, under the road make-up, a large pit, over 4m wide and over 0.6m deep, was cut through another pit, which was 0.8m deep. Both pits were filled with industrial clinker and ash and may have been backfilled clay pits.
