Abstract: |
Archaeological monitoring works were carried out in respect to the refurbishment of Kelton Mains Farm, Threave. The archaeological works were designed to mitigate the impact on the archaeological remains within their development area. The works comprised the hand digging of a trench along the front external elevation of the house. No new archaeological features were identified within the trench. Concrete settings for garden features were removed during the works alongside a small vent which sat at ground level and it likely that these date to the 19th century. The foundation courses underlying the front wall and the front porch were also exposed, each comprising a single rubble course. They varied in depth reflecting the differing size of their overlying walls and the fact that the will be from different phases in the house's construction. Artefacts recovered from within the topsoil included a number of pottery fragments which dated from the late 18th to 19th centuries alongside some fragments of animal bone, and were likely discarded there from domestic waste. |
