Abstract: |
Archaeological monitoring works were undertaken during consolidation works undertaken at St Bride's Chapel, Lamlash under Scheduled Monument Consent. The consolidation works included raking-out and repointing, plus consolidation of the wallhead and the removal of trees which had rooted in the wall core. The removal of the root mass resulted in the limited downtaking of masonry, and archaeological input was required both to inform on the likely impact of any proposed works and to record any masonry prior to its removal and reconstruction. The completion of a baseline survey yielded valuable insights into the building and the component fabrics used to construct it. These insights, in turn, were able to contribute to our broader understanding of the structure, though the complexity of the narrative evident within its fabric means that any conclusions presented here must be considered a starting point for further research and exploration, rather than a definitive summary. The removal of the tree roots was able to take place without disturbing the church's early fabric, and the consolidation works have now been completed and the structure stabilised and made safe for the foreseeable future. |
