Details Thick organic medieval deposits, probably midden, were observed in service trenches dug in 1979 when laying a telephone cable in Gallowgate, between St Paul Street and Upperkirkgate. Pottery, leather, slag and bone were recovered. No evidence of earlier street surfaces was noted as the ground was totally disturbed by existing service trenches. Little medieval evidence was observed in the trenches in Loch Street. In Littlejohn Street there were thick organic midden layers at the west end, confirming the estimated extent of the medieval town in this direction.
