Abstract: |
A programme of archaeological monitoring works were undertaken at the Camphill Vaults, 1-3 Main Street, Bothwell. The works were carried out from the 9th to the 12th June 2008 and comprised monitoring of the reduction of the ground level for the footprint of the new extension. A roughly rectangular red sandstone structure measuring 11m by 5m internally and divided into two compartments with one main entrance and as well as an access between the two compartments. The walls averaged 1m in width with both entrances measuring more than 1m. No finds were located but cartographic evidence indicates that the structure dates from between 1816 and 1859 and was demolished between 1963 and 1974. The thickness of its walls and width of the entrances indicate that the structure was probably originally used for some form of industrial or storage purpose rather than a dwelling, though it was possibly used as a dwelling latterly. |
