Abstract: |
Archaeological monitoring was carried out on behalf of Morrison Construction Scotland as part of the Ayr Grammar Project in support of demolition work at the Old Ayr Academy Site. The works included test pitting, core sampling and the removal of foundations from the demolished 20th century extension at Ayr Academy. Much of the site was covered by the remains of the recently-demolished extension: the foundations themselves, where excavated, were found to overlay layers of naturally occurring subsoil and made ground. The structural remains encountered were all of 19th century date, with later 19th and/or 20th century alterations. The latter took the form of an extension to the rear of the 19th century building. No earlier significant archaeological features or artefacts were identified within the monitored area. |
