Abstract:		 The excavation works within Eglinton Country Park revealed the partial remains of Lady Jane's Cottage a small building which was built around 1800 at the same time as the nearby Eglinton Castle. The works uncovered the lower courses of the cottages foundations with the exception of its north eastern end which had been completely demolished. Different stretches of these foundations were built with a mixture of well-dressed sandstone, boulders and brick which would have formed the cottages chimney/fireplace base. Garden features were also identified to the immediate southwest of the cottage which included stone steps which led down to paved and rough stone surfaces, possibly forming a 'patio' area to the side of the cottage. There were also stone and brick kerbed features which suggested formalised garden plots/features and paths to the northwest of the cottage. Stone and brick drains were also identified to the southwest and northwest the purpose of which was to deal with run off from the cottages roof and keep the garden areas well drained. The majority of the artefacts recovered from the site, window glass, lead window rods and iron fittings and ties from the thatched roof, relate to the demolition of the cottage in the 1930's. Some domestic artefacts, such as white glazed pottery sherds and glass vessel fragments, were found within the 'patio' area.
