Abstract: |
A programme of archaeological trial trenching was carried out at a development at Darnley Mains, Barrhead, Glasgow. The trial trenching comprised 13 trenches totalling 458 linear metres. The trenches were targeted in order to locate a farmstead marked as Clogholes (Ruin) on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey. The trenches provided a comprehensive coverage of the site location. No evidence was found that the farmstead had survived, indicating it had been completely demolished. The trenches did reveal the foundations to a stone boundary wall thought to be contemporary with Clogholes farmstead. Two linear ditches were also identified although these dated to the 20th century with a number of modern finds recovered from within the fills. This included a number of bullet cartridges associated with the areas use as a rifle range in the early 20th century. A number of tile field drains were also noted. |
