Abstract: |
Archaeological monitoring works were undertaken prior to the construction of a new dwelling house on the site of an earlier, 19th century, farmhouse at Hillside Farm, near Kilmacolm. Works revealed evidence of an earlier wall footing which had been incorporated into a stony platform which formed an elevated and free-draining platform upon which the later 19th century farmhouse was constructed, and which had been extended south to create a raised seating around to the rear of the farmhouse. The wall footing may have represented an earlier revetment wall for the garden terrace, or could, alternatively, have represented the footings of an earlier structure shown on Roy's Military Survey of 1752-55 in this location which had been demolished prior to the construction of the later farmhouse. |
