Abstract: |
In April and August 2010 Alder Archaeology undertook monitoring of topsoiling on two areas of archaeological concern on a residential development site to the east of Frankfield Loch, Stepps, site code, SP03. The work was in response to recommendations made by SUAT in 2007 after the initial evaluation of the site. The two areas of concern were an L shaped linear ditch feature in the mid part of the development site and the foundations of a 19th century brick building shown on the Ordnance Survey plan, 1898. The watching brief on the area of the linear ditch feature found no evidence of associated features which could date the ditch or shed light on its exact function. It is considered that the feature was probably a boundary ditch as its eastern arm followed the hill slope down to Frankfield Loch. The full ground plan for the 19th c building, was obtained, however, its function could not be ascertained. As it was set beside a narrow gauge mineral railway and a quarry on the E side of railway track it may well have been associated with the working of those operations. No further archaeological work is required on this site R Cachart 2010 |
