Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation trench was carried out on the 10th September 2008 on behalf of Clydebank Rebuilt URC. The works were undertaken in respect to the proposed erection of forty flats at a site located on Cart Street, Clydebank, West Dunbartonshire. There was the potential for remains associated with the Forth and Cart Canal to be located running along the western and northern areas of the site. The Forth and Cart Canal, which was constructed to link the Forth and Clyde Canal with the River Clyde was opened in 1840 and closed in 1893. It is not known if the canal, which would have run along the western edge of the site was entirely removed or just infilled but the eastern half was heavily disturbed by the construction of a railway line on the site in 1896 by Lanarkshire and Dumbartonshire Railway. The evaluation trench revealed a depth of infill material, comprising various deposits, at least 1.25m in depth across the northern end of the site (the limit of excavation undertaken). Although structural remains and deposits relating to the later railway were located, the canal and any other associated remains with its use, if they still survive, must lie below 1.25m. |
