Lest We Forget.
It really was a BIG early medieval posthole that was found by UofG Archaeology and Clyde Archaeology this year. We think that it might be the footing for a gatepost that was part of a structure guarding the grand Viking-Age processional way into Govan Old's 1,500-year-old churchyard.
