Abstract: |
Archaeological monitoring of ground breaking works to the rear of 6 Main Street, Dundonald revealed no evidence of human occupation or activity earlier than the mid-19th century cottage which still stands upon the site. To the rear of the cottage was found a rubble built well, circular on plan. Presumably contemporary with the cottage, the well was capped and sealed beneath a clay surface during rebuilding works in the late 19th century which extended the cottage to the north-east and included the sinking of a replacement well within the new extension. Historic map evidence suggests that the creation of this particular building plot and the construction of a cottage in this location took place no earlier than the mid-18th century and the archaeological remains uncovered tend to support this. Prior to this date, it is surmised that the site formed part of parkland attached to the castle or common grazing used by the residents of Kirkton of Dundonald. L Turner 2014. |
