Abstract: |
Building recording and evaluation of the partially demolished remains of Alva House revealed the survival of at least four phases of construction and alteration. Structural remains already in existence when Robert and James Adam prepared plan for altering the south façade have been identified. Later, alterations and additions including the west wing have also been recorded. Beneath foundations, probably pre 1789 in date, were identified a series of thin clay and silt deposits overlying a re-deposited midden material. These deposits have not been dated but given the presence of coal are likely to date from the late 1600s or early 1700s. |
