Abstract: |
A Level 2/3 standing building survey was carried out at Castleton Farm, near Pool of Muckart, Clackmannanshire prior to the its refurbishment and alteration. The farm was built in 1873 as the Home Farm for a local estate. The farm as its stands today replaced an earlier rectilinear building shown on General Roy's 18th-century map. The farm included a cart-shed and three-storey barn, various cattle sheds and a pigsty. On the west-facing elevation of the barn there is evidence to show that an outshot building housing a mill wheel was present. The infill blocking work is evident on the barn wall. 1947 aerial photography confirms that the mill pond was still present in that year. Waterpower was replaced by a diesel engine that drove belt drives for a cattle-cake crushing device housed in the first-floor of the barn. The farmhouse interior has been completely modernised and very little original detail is present. The farm is relatively unaltered and is a fine example of an estate Home Farm. |
