Abstract: |
An archaeological site visit and walkover was undertaken at Burnston Remainder, part of the House of Water mining complex near New Cumnock, East Ayrshire, on behalf of Hargreaves Surface Mining. The work was conducted by Northlight Heritage on 1 November 2013 in cold but dry conditions with good visibility. During the course of the work a total of six locations were visited which had been previously noted to contain upstanding archaeological remains. Of these, only one site, a relatively modern cistern at Craigman, was found to survive. The other five locations were found to have been significantly impacted by the planting of forestry which covered the majority of the proposed development area. A general walkover was also conducted and a dry-stone wall was encountered, but no significant archaeological remains were discovered. |
