Abstract: |
A watching brief was carried out by CFA Archaeology during alterations to the fabric of the Orocco Pier Hotel, Queensferry. This construction work removed sections of stonework allowing the watching brief to record a complete section through the fabric of the wall. In total two phases of construction were recorded. In 2007 CFA confirmed the west-facing, external elevation of the hotel was the remnant of the internal elevation of the distillery that once occupied the area to the west. The remains of the earlier Phase 1 masonry were butted by Phase 2 masonry which now comprises the internal part of the hotel wall. The construction of Phase 2 was relatively ad-hoc, evidenced by the fluctuating thicknesses of the masonry deposits, a weakly bonded rubble core and some building debris inclusions. The internal wall of Phase 2, which now comprises the east facing wall of the hotel conference suite was finished with lime-wash render. |
