Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation and subsequent excavation of Broomhill Steading and House was undertaken by AOC Archaeology Group as part of the remediation works at Sighthill, Glasgow. The initial evaluation showed that the foundations and some floor levels of Broomhill Steading and House had survived their demolition and the later landscaping of Sighthill Park. The findings of the evaluation then implied that an excavation of the sites was required to fully record the structural remains. The excavations revealed the full extent of the late 19th century Broomhill farm that had been constructed on the foundations of the earlier 18th century steading. Four phases of site use were seen in the excavations from a single long house and outbuilding in the 18th century to a large collection of barns, sheds and a possible stable in the late 19th century. As for the house, the excavations revealed the internal floor plan of one of Glasgow's mansion houses as well as revealing the scale of construction undertaken with a large area of the slope removed and used to level one side of the house. The construction method employed as well as the use of slate flagstones in the foundations and the presence of expensive tiles from Stoke-on-Trent are all indicators of the capital expended in the house and late 19th century farm.
