Abstract: |
GUARD Archaeology Ltd were commissioned to undertake an archaeological watching brief during the construction works for the Helix Canal Connection to the Forth and Clyde Canal Scheduled Ancient Monument Area between Falkirk and Grangemouth. The canal wall of the Forth and Clyde Canal at this juncture was clearly identifiable during this watching brief and was found to consist of timber pilings and heavily compacted grey clay, capped by large cap stones. The foundation trench was infilled with natural boulder clay. Subsurface deposits on the south bank of the canal have also evidently been disturbed previously by service trenches. |
