Abstract: |
A programme of archaeological works was required by Mackay Planning Ltd on behalf of Philipshill Retirement Village Ltd in respect to their proposal for the construction of a retirement village at Philipshill, East Kilbride. The archaeological investigative works consisted of an intrusive evaluation which was designed to assess an 8% sample of the proposed development area. No significant archaeological features were discovered. The most prominent archaeological features present were field drains showing improvement across the site for its use for agricultural purposes. An area of made ground was identified within higher ground at the northern end of the site, containing demolition material which appeared to have been deposited from the demolition of the hospital itself. The only other potentially archaeological feature present was the site of a fallen tree where the branches appeared to have been utilised, possibly to cover over an area of waterlogging and strengthen the ground above. The presence of modern plastic from within this feature placed it as modern in date. |
