Abstract: |
An archaeological excavation was required by East Ayrshire Council ahead of a large scale redevelopment of Cumnock Academy, Cumnock, East Ayrshire. This report details the results of the third phase of archaeological works on the site, following two earlier evaluations conducted in 2017 and 2018. The excavation followed a programme of evaluation, completed in late 2017, in which features likely associated with in which features likely associated with 'Green Mill' shown on the 1st Edition OS Map were encountered. During this phase the heavily truncated remains of a mill lade were encountered running N-S across the site containing several sherds of 19th Century ceramic. No further buildings associated with the mill were uncovered as the site appears to have been heavily truncated by the school. Given the presence and survival of the features in the North of the site where the ground level slopes down towards the river it is possible that further buried deposits or features could exist to the west of the current excavation boundary. |
