Abstract: |
Addyman Archaeology undertook a Watching Brief at The Temple, Dumfries House Estate as part of works associated with the creation of a Memorial Garden, for The Great Steward of Scotland's Dumfries House Trust. The project is part of the proposals to restore the Category A Listed Temple. The development is located within the boundary of a known World War II Prisoner of War Camp. The works for the semi-circular path in front of The Temple extended across the northern end of one of the Nissen Hut bases within the camp. The rear steps on the west side of the hut were partially truncated and finds including glass bottles and a fork were recovered. The bricks were stamped 'DICO', made locally by the Dalmellington Ironworks Company. The full extent of the hut was recorded with the remainder preserved in situ in the woodland to the south of the path. A second hut was recorded perpendicular to the south, with only the northern edge exposed, following the removal of some trees to the south of the path. The work was undertaken in conjunction with work at a new Farm Education Centre immediately to the south of the site, which to date has exposed the bases of over 40 huts. |
