Abstract: |
A programme of archaeological works was carried out on behalf of SPMCC, with respect to a proposed development to the rear of the Watermill Hotel, Paisley. The work entailed an archaeological evaluation of the application area, followed by mitigation works which comprised the careful removal by hand of those deposits deemed archaeologically sensitive during the evaluation phase. The archaeological works were designed to mitigate the impact on the archaeological remains within the development area. No significant archaeological deposits were revealed. There was ample evidence, however, in the form of buried wall footings, of earlier structures which had occupied the site from the early nineteenth, or perhaps even the late eighteenth century. These represented structures shown on historic mapping of the area. All the anthropic material recovered indicated modern use of the site. As a result, no further works are recommended. |
