Abstract: |
Northlight Heritage were commissioned to undertake a small excavation to investigate the foundations of the North building at Provan Hall, Auchinlea Park, Glasgow, prior to conservation work being carried out. A test trench was excavated between 17th and the 22nd September 2015. The work was conducted by Northlight Heritage on behalf of the Glasgow and Clyde Valley Green Network Partnership on behalf of the Seven Lochs Partnership. The foundations of the North building were found to be shallow, sitting on bedrock and natural clay. An earlier courtyard surface seen in photographs in the 1940s (consisting of stones sets, flag stones of varying sizes and possibly bricks) was replaced in or prior to 1966 with stone sets and a drain. The finds consisted of some sherds of green-glazed pottery, (thought to be late-medieval in date), a single clay pipe stem and a few sherds of vessel and window glass. There were no other archaeological features. |
