Abstract: |
A programme of archaeological works was required by Green Cat Contracting Limited before the complete demolition of the 20th century Fish Pass associated with a 19th century Weir at Fair-AFar, Crammond and its replacement with a new one. The works also involved the repair of the damaged N section of the Weir. During these works a detailed record was made of the all structural elements which were to be demolished or repaired. Beneath the Fish Pass earlier 18th or 19th century structural elements were identified which may relate to an elevated cantilevered carriageway associated with the nearby Craigie Quarry and may have been used to convey stone from the quarry for the construction of the Weir. The earlier elements may also have been part of the Weir, acting as an earlier Fish Pass, Spillway or sluice. |
