Abstract: |
Highland Eco-Design Ltd on behalf of their client commissioned Alder Archaeology to undertake an archaeological watching brief during the construction of a small hydroelectric scheme at Keithick Mills, Perth and Kinross. The scheme was located along the Coupar Burn between NGR NO 20352 38248 and NO 20166 38225. The development was thought to possibly impact on remains of the Mills of Keithick, and the monastic grange and medieval settlement of Keithick. The archaeological work (site code CG08) was carried out in stages between the 12th of July and the 11th of September 2012 in mostly dry weather conditions. During the watching brief no early remains were found, though a number of 18th or 19th century remains were revealed which relate to the Mills and a nearby rock cut lade. These included a 19th century pump house containing a waterwheel and several stone culverts. At the E end of the lade the remains of a sluice were discovered as well as an overflow channel. |
