Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was carried out by GUARD Archaeology Limited on behalf of Stewart Milne Homes, on an area proposed for housing development around Auchinleck Farm, Robroyston. The trial trench evaluation revealed three features of potential interest concentrated in the north-west area of the site comprising two large pits and the disturbed foundations of a structure; these are likely related to later industrial activity in the area. In addition, several smaller pit features and spreads of material were investigated and recorded as likely non-anthropogenic in origin. Systems of furrows and various field drains were visible across much of the evaluated area, and topsoil finds consisted mostly of glazed ceramic and glass sherds, clay pipe fragments and some industrial waste. In addition to the trial trenching, a level 1 to 2 historic building survey was also carried out on existing upstanding remains within the phase 1 area at Auchinleck Farm (NS 6395 6916) and Wallace's Well (NS 6382 6960). |
