Abstract: |
AOC archaeological group undertook an archaeological excavation in advance of the Elgin Flood Alleviation Scheme. Located within the burgh of Elgin, Moray the excavation followed an evaluation of the site in which building remains associated with the former Deanshaugh Mills were found to exist. Of the two excavation areas, the first revealed the remains of a mill building complete with a central lade, wheel pit and corn drier. The excavation also uncovered the remains of a second mill lade, and two stone-built bridges constructed to cross the lades. Infilling the central lade and surrounding the mill structure on the southern, eastern and western sides was a late Victorian domestic dump which did not extend across the building remains; perhaps suggesting that the mill was still upstanding at time of the creation of the dump. The second excavation area uncovered the remains of a stone flagged floor and the remnant wall foundations of a second building. |
