Abstract: |
A series of archaeological monitoring visits and watching briefs were undertaken by AOC Archaeology Group as part of the remediation works at Sighthill, Glasgow. The works showed that the vast majority of the remediation areas had been heavily truncated by the modern residential developments as well as the late 19th and early 20th century chemical works and other industrial constructions shown in the area. One of the earliest industrial structures on site, the original chemical works was shown to survive under 4 m of made ground at the edge of Pinkston Drive. The remaining foundations, floors and walls of the structure were excavated and recorded prior to their removal. A building that may be related to the 19th century Broomhill Cottage was also revealed by the watching brief at the southern edge of the development area. This building survived as four partially fragmented walls, a sandstone pillar and part of an internal wooden floor and external cobbled surface. |
