Abstract: |
James Denholm Partnership on behalf of their client Ann Barrett commissioned SUAT Ltd to undertake a standing building recording of a farmstead at Mains of Glasclune, Blairgowrie, Perthshire. The work was carried out on the 17th and 18th February 2009. The aim was to provide a record of the farm buildings prior to their demolition and to look for and record any stones that had been re-used from nearby Glasclune Castle. The building was extensively photographed and planned and it was possible to determine the functions of each area and partially work out the development sequence, though the demolition of one of the buildings caused problems when trying to work out the stratigraphy of the whole farmstead. The materials used and the form suggest that the farmstead dates from the agricultural improvements around the late 18th/early 19th century. Four pieces of re-used stone and a piece of re-used pegged wood, possibly from the castle were discovered. These re-used materials were found around a window/vent in a dividing wall between two byres. The wood may be a fragment from a tie beam; one of the stones may have been a window reveal and another part of an opening to a gun hole. A stair tread from the castle was also found amongst rubble from one of the demolished farm buildings. The SUAT site code was BW03. |
