Abstract: |
The National Trust for Scotland commissioned SUAT Ltd to undertake an archaeological watching brief on the 25th February 2008 whilst analysing problems with the sewage systems of three properties at the House of Dun. The work consisted of monitoring the excavation of an outflow pipe near the septic tank belonging to the Gardener''s House. This excavation was located close to a 16th century arch and the probable site of the medieval Castle of Dun. The monitoring of the excavation of a new soak away pit at East Lodge was also carried out. In view of future excavations at West Lodge, a rapid walkover survey was also conducted north of the lodge. The excavations revealed no significant archaeology, but the survey to the north of West Lodge identified pieces of worked stone, bricks and pieces of concrete that probably relate to estate buildings/features that have since been demolished. The SUAT site code was MT26. |
