Abstract: |
Addyman Archaeology undertook a two day community excavation at Camp 22 Pennylands, a former WWII training and prisoner of war camp in the grounds of Dumfries House, near Cumnock East Ayrshire. The excavation was undertaken as part of the Heritage Lottery Funded Camp 22 Pennylands project, which is a community history project focusing on oral history, archive research and archaeology of the camp. The excavation was focused on the last surviving section of the camp, located in the south-east corner. Over the two days nine buildings were surveyed and recorded, comprising five accommodation blocks, two possible stores, a wash house and a probable toilet block. One building was fully uncovered and drawn; this was revealed to be a former wash house, containing 30 sets of sinks/showers and a number of drains on the south side. In addition an accommodation block was partially uncovered. Once the buildings had been recorded, the site was backfilled and reinstated. Around 30 volunteers participated in the excavation over two days, with about the same number of passing visitors, including four who had lived at the camp as children. The results of the excavation will be integrated into the proposed publication report for the site, which will combine the results of the archaeological excavations with the archival research and oral history to produce a comprehensive history of the site. |
