Abstract:		 A programme of archaeological works concluded with the excavation of the Alton farmstead at Waterfoot Road, Newton Mearns. These works were required in preparation for the construction of the Newton Mearns Faith Schools' Joint Campus, to the instruction of East Renfrewshire Council. The excavation works revealed the remains of a small, late 18th century Improvement era farmstead that had continued in use until the late 19th century. Material culture illustrated this duration of occupation, dominated by contemporary ceramics. Archival research has identified changing patterns of occupation and tenure across this same period as well as locating detailed evidence of the refurbishment of the farmsteading in c.1839. The farmstead was ultimately cleared during a period of farm amalgamation in the late 19th century. While carrying the name Alton (Auldton) there was no sound archaeological evidence for continuity of settlement at the site before the late 18th century.
