Details A watching brief was carried out by Aberdeen City Council Archaeological Unit in 1979 during excavation of the pavement in front of Greyfriars House. The pavement was excavated to a depth of 1.50m to provide foundations for a new entrance and ramp. Observation showed the site to be within the 19th-century cellars and to have been disturbed to a level just above natural. A humic soil above natural, which may have been medieval, yielded bone but no datable finds. The original east frontage of Gallowgate is now below the street due to road widening earlier in the century.
