Abstract: |
Archaeological works were required in support of emergency repair works undertaken to the historic fabric of Catrine Weir, a Scheduled Monument. The works comprised the recording of historic fabric revealed during the removal of intrusive sands and gravels from three major voids within the weir's fabric. The findings largely supported observations made during previous works on the monument carried out by Murdoch in 2006. However, some additional structural elements of the spillway were identified, in particular a basal platform composed of abutting timber planks, laid flat and apparently occurring only in those areas where the spillway was steeply angled. It is thought that this might reflect a stepped profile to the base of the structure in this location, creating a robust and level platform upon which the sandstone setts could be laid to form the surface of the spillway. |
