Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief carried out by CFA Archaeology Ltd at Strathbrock Parish Church, Uphall, West Lothian. The area monitored included the installation of a new service trench along the pathway leading to the church and the demolition of the existing redundant boiler house. An internal inspection hole dug to connect the external water main to the interior of the church was also monitored. During the removal of a flight of steps leading down to the boiler house, the topmost step was found to be a gravestone with an inscription on each side. One was probably 17th century and was very worn. The second inscription was 18th century and was dedicated to the memory of Thomas Rob (d.1760). Disturbed human remains were also recorded in a manhole trench. The remains included a badly crushed skull and parts of upper arms and thigh bones. All of these remains were reinterred close to where they were found. The excavation of the new service and the excavation work carried out within the aisle revealed no archaeological remains.
