Abstract:		 Four engineer's trial holes were excavated around Perth theatre, along with seven boreholes in advance of renovation and development. The trial holes were excavated in order to investigate the foundations of the building, as a result the excavations were limited in extent to areas previously excavated for the construction of the building. Little archaeological information was gained from the trial holes as a result. One trial hole excavated in the basement of the theatre shows that this area has been excavated down to the level of the natural subsoil for the creation of the basement, thus removing any potential archaeology in the area of the basement. The boreholes suggest that archaeological deposits are present to a depth of around 3m across most of the site. Deeper deposits were encountered in a borehole excavated close to Mill Street; these may be infilling of the defensive town ditch known to be located in the vicinity.
