A small excavation beside the boundary wall in the southeastern part of the graveyard at Govan Old Parish Church. There have been excavations here over many years. One had just finished the day before, but would continue towards the end of September. Volunteers were being encouraged to take part, with preference given to those who lived in Govan. The churchyard is a Scheduled Monument https://portal.historicenvironment.scot/designation/SM10393, on account of the collection of medieval stones found within it (the Govan Stones) and now on display within the church itself.
