Abstract: |
Alder Archaeology Ltd was commissioned by John H White Architects on behalf of Neil Wells to carry out a watching brief during the construction of a hotel at Ardgartan, Loch Long. The hotel is located behind the site of a youth hotel that was demolished in 2009. Apart from the site of Ardgartan Hall and an associated cottage (both demolished) and remains of a walled garden, no archaeological deposits were known on the site. However, it was thought possible that the alluvial fan on which the development lies may have been the focus for Prehistoric activity. The work was carried out over 8 days between the 8th and the 22nd of February 2010 in cold but sunny conditions. Various areas of topsoil stripping were observed including the locations for two haul roads, the hotel, a sewage treatment plant and the building for staff accommodation. No significant archaeology was revealed during this work, only services for the Youth Hostel. |
