Abstract:		 A programme of works associated with the Braehead extension to the Greenburn Surface Mine Operation was undertaken at Riggfoot Farm. A level 1 and 2 standing building survey was carried out prior to demolition. The building layout comprised a three-sided enclosed farmyard comprising a farmhouse with an attached east rang, a detached north range and west range. More recent buildings have been added to the main farm complex in the form of steel-framed sheds and a large polytunnel. The stone-built farmhouse is a later 19th century building with 20th century additions. The east range is a linear byre with an extension to the west; the building was probably constructed as a byre and was later converted into a milking parlour with a series of milking stalls. The north range has been greatly altered and little remains of its original fabric. A late 19th century detached building to the south of the farmhouse has been greatly altered but internal evidence in the form of a fireplace and window suggest that the structure was possibly used at as a small agricultural bothy. An evaluation was carried out at Riggfoot Farm following demolition. The evaluation identified a number of features associated with the recently demolished farmstead including wall footings, a brick surface, service pipes, and a septic tank. There were also a number of field drains identified which may pre-date the construction of the farmstead. None of these features were considered to be archaeologically significant. There was no evidence of any earlier settlement or activity either in terms of negative archaeological features or deposits. No finds were recovered and all of the observed material was 19th or 20th century in date.
