Abstract: |
A Level 3 standing building survey was carried out at Spital Mains Steading which recorded the principal architectural features. The farm was built in the late 18th century on a courtyard plan and its general layout plan has only been slightly altered throughout the 19th and 20th centuries. The farm was geared toward livestock rearing and this is reflected in the formal layout of the buildings arranged within the courtyard to form three cattle courts. A derelict two-storey mill and horse engine were present, along with a long range of cattle sheds. Evidence for the use of diesel powered machinery represents the second phase of power within this building. |
