ARCHAEOLOGISTS and local historians have discovered the surviving remains of the notorious Harvie’s Dyke in Dalmarnock.

Last month Glasgow City Council teamed up with Glasgow Building Preservation Trust (GBPT) who initiated the project “Digging the Dyke” which uncovered parts of the 12-foot-high fortified stone wall built in 1823.
