Abstract: |
Archaeological works were required by Mr Morton Hannah in respect of proposed redevelopment works to 96-108 Portland Street Site in Kilmarnock. The watching brief comprised the monitoring of three test pits, and revealed the rear wall of the property to be unusually deep, extending to at least 1.15m below the modern floor levels. From the depth of this foundation, and from the nature of the deposits encountered elsewhere across the site, it is inferred that the structure occupies an area of made ground, created in order to provide a level platform for the building and its yard to the rear. This possibility is supported by the modern ground levels, which are consistent between the interior and the yard. |
