Abstract: |
A walkover survey and watching brief was carried out during ground works for the construction of a hydroelectric scheme at Auldhouseburn Farm, Muirkirk. The walkover survey recorded the remains of quarry scoops, rig-and-furrow cultivation, paths or tracks, and clearance heaps along the route, as well as the former canal and railway embankments. The watching brief recorded the composition of the railway embankments, which each consisted of a clay core covered with industrial ashy deposits, and recorded a partial section through the former canal which was waterlogged and filled with soft silt. No additional features were recorded. |
