Abstract: |
Headland Archaeology was commissioned by Elayne Blackwood to undertake a programme of historic building recording at Carberry Mains, East Lothian to inform a planning application (07/00419/FUL and 14/00591/P) for the proposed conversion of three stone farm buildings to dwellings and the sale of a fourth at nearby Carberry Trows. A brief assessment of documentary evidence showed that the earliest reference to Carberry Mains dates to the late 16th century and the earliest mapped buildings to the mid-18th century. A substantial farm comprising of several rectangular buildings around a courtyard had developed by the early 19th century, although this appeared to have been largely remodelled in the second half of that century along with the construction of Carberry Mains House. The buildings described in this report all relate to this period of activity, though it is possible that part of one of the steadings has its origins in the earlier 19th century. 20th century modifications have reduced a much larger complex of stone buildings to the four structures described here. |
