Abstract: |
Archaeological monitoring of the groundbreaking works related to the re-development of an existing farm building yielded little of archaeological significance. The site of an earlier farm is marked on General Roy's Military of Scotland Survey map of c1745, but no structural remains or evidence for cut foundations were encountered, as such foundations were also lacking with the still upstanding remains. The few finds, of post-medieval and 19th century date, were unstratified. The area is generally known for prehistoric burial remains and a small burial cairn, said to have contained a short cist and beaker, had been extant immediately to the SW of the proposed development site prior to its destruction in about 1870 (NT05SW 11). However, no prehistoric artefacts were recovered during the present archaeological works. |
