Abstract: |
A Watching Brief was carried out at Stonehouse Cottage, Sprouston during ground breaking works for alterations and construction of new garages. The work revealed a series of building remains and a culvert Red sandstone mortared walls recorded in a cable trench appear to be the remains of a roofed building recorded on the 1863 Ordnance Survey First Edition 25-inch map. A series of unmortared linear features of small-medium rounded stones recorded in the new garage footprint are in approximate alignment with the walls of the south-westernmost building of a row of roofed buildings recorded on the 1863 Ordnance Survey First Edition 25 inch map. There were no visible remains of foundation cuts for any of the possible walls. There is very little remaining of the walls and no signs of mortar. Within the interior of the building a sandy gravel was deposited, followed by a clay surface. The exterior of the building to the north-west appears to have been landscaped. It included an area of paving and adjacent upright stones which may have been steps. |
