'Rescue excavation took place in advance of development by Strathclyde University on the site of 'The Auld Pedagogy' a 15th Century building associated with the earliest classes of Glasgow University. The foundations of the 19th century Lock Hospital were uncovered and were found to shelve into the hillside towards the street frontage. In back yard areas, pits of 18th and 19th Century date were excavated, and were found to be cut into hillwash deposits in excess of 1.20m in depth. A crushed sandstone and mortar lens containing 15th to 16th century pottery was identified in a sondage at a depth of 2.30m below present ground level'.
