Abstract: |
Campbell of Doune Ltd commissioned Alder Archaeology to undertake a standing building survey on several buildings due to be demolished at East Mains of Carseburn (NGR NO 476 528), near Forfar. The work was carried out on the 7th of September 2010 in very poor weather conditions. The aim was to carry out a level 1 survey of the buildings to gain an understanding of their original form and function. The work revealed that the long narrow building now used as a milk parlour was once a cow byre with large openings to the west (now blocked) which would have opened onto a yard in front of the farmhouse. Several areas of sub-angular pink stonework were identified in the walls of the milk parlour/byre which may date to the original construction of the farmhouse, probably in the early 19th century. However, much of the stonework used in the walls of the milk parlour/byre contained angular circular-sawn grey sandstone blocks, showing that this building was heavily re-built in the late 19th or early 20th century. The other buildings investigated were found to have been added in the post war period. The site code was FF13 |
