Abstract: |
A programme of archaeological monitoring works was required by Gardiner and Theobald in support of their site investigation works on the site of the Newton Mearns Faith Schools' Joint Campus. A total of 27 test pits were excavated. No significant archaeological remains uncovered on the site, which has a demolished farm steading surviving as upstanding remains in its north-western portion. The only feature of interest identified during these works was the remains of a well shown on mid-19th century historic mapping of the area and located in close proximity to the farm buildings: the well had been demolished, and its dismantled superstructure used to fill the shaft, which survived as a rock-cut feature 1.2m in basalt bedrock located 0.5m below the modern ground surface. |
