Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken during site investigation works for a mixed use development at Port Dundas Canal Basin, Glasgow. The canal basin, which was backfilled by c.1960, dates to the second half of the 19th century. The site investigation identified the base of the cooling tower for the power station was made of reinforced concrete that was 0.35m thick and that it had been laid over the top of the existing canalside infrastructure, some of which appeared to survive below the tower base. It also identified that the possible second cooling tower shown on the land registry title deeds was not present. The basin itself was backfilled with made ground. The wharf sides and probable remains of the coke kilns were preserved across most of their original footprint. They survived at a depth of between c.0.15m and c.0.80m below the current site surface |
