Abstract:		 Addyman Archaeology were commissioned by The Biggar Museum Trust to undertake a watching brief during all ground breaking works associated with the creation of a new building for Biggar Museum at 156 High Street, Biggar. Fronting the High Street within the historic burgh of Biggar, the site was considered one of significant archaeological potential. The present buildings on the site sit within an historic burgage plot, dateable to the medieval period. The map regression showed in detail the development of the site as it expanded from the mid 19th century as the Blacksmith became first a garage, and then a petrol station. The watching brief demonstrated that no archaeological features of significance survive across site. Undisturbed bedrock was encountered across virtually the entire development area with no archaeological artefacts recovered which predate the late 19th century. Due to the proximity of the bedrock, any earlier structures may have been less substantial than seen elsewhere, but it seems the development of the garage buildings removed any trace of earlier occupation.
