Abstract: |
Archaeological monitoring was required for the excavations of a proposed building footprint within the burgh of Sanquhar. The area to be stripped was bounded over much of its extent by a 19th century wall which abutted on its north-east side a small 19th century outbuilding which was demolished as works commenced. The burgage plot to the rear of the main house was until recent times undivided and sloped down from northeast to the southwest. At some point in the early 20th century this area was levelled: beneath this made-up ground were 19th or 20th century features, including a brick wall which may have formed an extension to the then-extant outbuilding. There was a complete absence of finds or features which might indicate occupation and use in the medieval or post-medieval periods. |
