Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was conducted by CFA Archaeology Ltd in January 2009 at Ailsa Lodge, Renfrewshire. A watching brief conducted by CFA in 2006, during groundworks for the construction of an extension to the west of Ailsa Lodge recorded a large ditch, which was interpreted as a Vallum and evidence of Early Christian ecclesiastical occupation on the site. During the 2009 watching brief, the following archaeological features were recorded: An east-west orientated drystone masonry structure which is interpreted as the probable remains of a garden wall, and the fragmented sandstone remains for the foundations of the recently demolished eastern annex. The remains of a sandstone foundation footing, which had a fragment of re-used cornice incorporated into its fabric. The wall was probably truncated to some extent by a salt glazed drain and is probably synonymous with the construction of the present manse in the mid-19th century. No trace of the previously recorded Vallum could be seen. |
