Abstract:		 A survey was carried out by CFA Archaeology Ltd at Auldhouseburn Farm in advance of the construction of an agricultural building. Information from the 1896 Ordnance Survey map suggested that there was a pond, dam and sluice within the proposed development area. These features were a part of a system taking water from the Auldhouse Burn to Auldhouseburn Farm and Auldhouseburn Coal Pit, presumably to drive machinery such as a threshing mill at the farm or a water wheel for driving a pump at the mine. The survey recorded the remains of a stone-faced earth dam constructed across a natural gully with an inlet channel from the Auldhouse Burn and an outlet channel exiting to the north-west in the direction of Auldhouseburn Farm. The sluice was no longer present. A stone weir was identified where the inlet channel exited the Auldhouse Burn and an earth and stone aqueduct was identified where the outlet channel crossed an area of deep quarry workings but both of these features lay well outwith the proposed development area.
