Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was conducted at Bothwell Parish Church, Bothwell, South Lanarkshire, during development works associated with the fitting of new services to the church. A large number of exploratory excavations were undertaken around the church and within the confines of the churchyard, to identify existing drainage, some of which dates back to the 19th century, possibly earlier. As well as a number of overburden deposits related to the latest renovations of the Church, there was a large highly compacted yellow clay layer of redeposited natural within which were a number of disarticulated bones. At least one possible coffined burial was also identified, although only a very small area of this was exposed, and it was left in situ and covered over. An old stone culvert was found to the east side of the church which was largely exposed and comprised a stone lined drain in part lined to the sides with stone slabs. |
