Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	An archaeological trial excavation, geophysical and topographic survey was undertaken by the Inner Forth Landscape Initiative, with local volunteers, and AOC Archaeology Group in Zetland Park, Grangemouth. The excavations and geophysical survey focussed on the 17th century Orchard of the park, the site of a medieval Grange of which an enclosing bank and ditch survives as a slight earthwork monument. More recent structures of the park were also recorded by the laser scanning and photogrammetric recording of the war memorial and fountain within Zetland Park. The topographic and geophysical surveys and the excavations investigated the putative medieval monastic grange. Trench one demonstrated the existence of an earthen bank and ditch enclosing the site. Trench two was excavated across the a dog leg in the upstanding earthworks, while not conclusive the excavation supported this being the entrance into the enclosed grange. Three small trenches were excavated within the enclosed grange, these demonstrated deep deposits of relict cultivation soils, possibly in part from the sites later use as an orchard. The ceramic assemblage from the excavations includes a number of late medieval to post-medieval sherds that suggests much more than background noise and may relate to the later history of the grange. The geophysical survey has indicated the presence of features likely to be related to modern use of the earthwork, most notably the location of the band stand and post-abandonment agriculture. These results are consistent with the results of the excavations, and have yielded only one feature which could tentatively be related to a medieval use of the site, namely the area of low resistance in the north.
