Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken by AOC Archaeology Group on behalf of CRPG Limited during site investigation works in preparation for a proposed recreational development on the site of a former Nickel Works. The scope of the works was determined by East Dunbartonshire Council as advised by Rathmell Archaeology and was designed to safeguard the archaeological resource from any adverse impact during the initial SI works within the development area. A total of 12 test pits were excavated, reduced from 24 due to site conditions. From the SI pits in the western half of the site, some features possibly related to the nickel works were revealed. A large brick built drain or culvert and some sandstone walls survive under the later concrete surfaces. The eastern end of site appears to have been reduced significantly with modern made ground revealed to depths of 3.5m. No features relating to previous occupation of the site were found or would be likely to have survived. |
