Abstract: |
Historic building recording works and archaeological monitoring works that were undertaken in respect of proposed works at the Former Grain Store, Millburn Street, Kirkcudbright, Dumfries and Galloway (NGR: NX 68725 51202). The proposed works comprise: alterations and change of use of former grain store to form dwellinghouse and hair / beauty salon (planning application no. 19/0852/FUL). Examination of the Council's Historic Environment Record (HER) indicated that the development plot lay within Archaeologically Sensitive Area associated with the former medieval burgh of Kirkcudbright (HER ref. MDG3703). Historic maps shows evidence for a sequence of construction on the site in the 19th and early 20th centuries, including a group of buildings in the plot to the rear of the store and a water channel connecting the Old Mill Burn to the south with the mill lade to the north. As the proposal involved alterations to the upstanding buildings, as well as a certain amount of down-cutting works to the rear, Dumfries and Galloway Council asked for a programme of archaeological works to be undertaken as a requirement of the issued planning consent. The works required comprise: a basic survey of the building in its current form (as defined in the ALGAO HBR Guidance) to include a fully catalogued photographic record of significant elevations both internal and external and an archaeological watching brief during any ground reduction works. |
