Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief and subsequent investigative works were carried out for West Dunbartonshire Council in support of ground breaking works on the site of a subterranean structure exposed by a tree throw within Levengrove Park, Dumbarton. This revealed the well-preserved remains of a well of drystone construction with an associated wall foundation. The well was thought to date to the early 18th century (most likely 1714), forming part of a water management scheme to pipe water via a lead pipe across the River Leven to two wells located on High Street in Dumbarton. The wall may have been a boundary wall for the Levengrove Estate, at Woodyard Road, which would later become Levengrove Park in the 19th century. |
