Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation took place under the direction of Ali Cameron on 21-23 September 2018. 45 volunteers took part in the dig including students, local volunteers and families - there were 17 people under 18 who attended. On the 21 September 40 school pupils with 4 teachers or parent helpers spent a day at the site making a total of 89 volunteers in total. Some attended for the weekend and some for a couple of hours or a half day. Four trenches (Tr1-4) were excavated by machine under the supervision of Peter Bye-Jenson a few days prior to the evaluation. The exterior trenches (Tr 1-4) were all dug through modern rubble and backfill; the courtyard had a sunken midden and so no archaeological features or finds were recovered which were earlier than the early 19th-century farm. The interior trenches (Tr 5-9) all revealed evidence of the early 19th-century farm. Cobbled surfaces were recorded in areas where animals had been stalled. Animal feeders were recorded, both 19th and 20th century in date. Where it was possible to dig below these cobbled surfaces the finds were all dated to the mid 19th century or later and no earlier finds recovered from anywhere on the dig. |
