Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken by GUARD Archaeology Ltd, on behalf of South Lanarkshire Council on a site proposed for the further development of a public park at the site of Redlees Quarry, Blantyre. GUARD undertook this programme of work between 26th of March and 21st May 2012. During the course of the watching brief the interior of the batteries where cleared revealing the metal footings and fixtures for the anti aircraft guns. The second phase of works monitored the removal of shrubs and trees from within the site and structures themselves, and the removal of earth banking and the shaping and grading of the immediate areas surrounding the structures. All buildings and features were recorded in plan, by photography and by description in pro forma context sheets; all built remains encountered remain in situ. K Mooney 2012. |
