Abstract: |
A programme of standing building recording was carried out at High Alderstocks, West Brown Castle by Strathaven in July 2008 by CFA Archaeology Ltd in advance of its demolition. The building survey confirms that High Alderstocks Steading has occupied the same building footprint since the early 19th century. The East Range was connected to the farmhouse and the northern portion converted to more domestic use, probably in the later 20th century. The Farmhouse itself was enlarged upwards through the insertion of three dormers, again, probably in the later 20th century. The West Range continued to be used as a stable and storage/workshop area. The Dutch Barn and Pole shed were built in the Twentieth century and are largely unaltered, with the exception of the addition of the lean-to corrugated tin shed. The original 19th century enclosures to the west of the buildings continued to be used in their original form although probably for different purposes, most latterly for the keeping of fowl. |
