Abstract: |
ARCHAS Cultural Heritage LTD were commissioned by Scottish Water to complete a Level 2 Standing Building Record and excavation of a mill lade culvert arch with associated features revealed during works on the Sewer Flood Prevention Project on South Street in Milnathort. The discovery was reported to Perth and Kinross Heritage Trust by Mrs Patricia Penn-Low, who owns the land. Perth and Kinross Heritage Trust visited the site and recommended that a formal historic building recording survey be undertaken as parts of the culvert and associated features would be likely to be destroyed during the flood prevention project. Historical assessment of the structures showed that mills had existed on or near the site since the production of Joan Blaeu's maps in the 17th century and perhaps as early as the 14th century. The present structures predates the compilation of the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map of c.1854 and are considered to be of probable early 18th century construction. The structures investigated consist of an arch forming the ESE end of a culvert that carries the mill lade under the roads to the north and west of the site, a set of steps leading down to the lade and various 4 walls associated with these structures. All are stone-built and appear to be contemporary with the main body of the lade. J Doran 2015 |
