Abstract: |
An archaeological trial trenching evaluation was carried out in advance of a residential development at Croftfoot Farm Glenboig. Early map editions suggest that Croftfoot Farm pre-dates c.1750 and that there was a mill constructed on the site prior to 1816. These features are depicted in greater detail on the First Edition OS map. However, on-site constraints meant that the locations of these features could not be tested for any surviving remains. The area available for trial trenching contained extensive evidence of pre-improvement agriculture in the form of cultivation furrows. These furrows followed the same alignment as an area of rig-and-furrow cultivation depicted within this location on General Roy's Military Map of c.1750. Numerous field drains of the horseshoe and cylinder type indicate agricultural improvements during the 19th century. There were no features, deposits, or artefacts of archaeological significance identified. |
