Abstract: |
Historic building recording works undertaken at Torhouse Mill, Kirkcowan, Newton Stewart, Wigtownshire (NGR: NX 3958 5538). The proposed works comprise: alteration, extensions and change of use of office / mill building to form dwellinghouse (planning application no. 17/1756/FUL). Torhouse Mill and its water management system are recorded in Dumfries and Galloway Council's Historic Environment Record (ref. MDG2529) as being of historic interest. It is shown on Roy's map of 1755 and on subsequent pre-Ordnance Survey maps by Ainslie (1782) and Thomson (1832). As the proposal will involved some alteration to the standing structures, as well as a certain amount of down-cutting and sub-surface works Dumfries and Galloway Council asked for a programme of archaeological works to be undertaken as a requirement of the issued planning consent. The works required comprise: a basic survey of the building in its current form (as defined in the ALGAO HBR Guidance) to include a fully catalogued photographic record of the significant elevations, both internal and external, of the standing building and its setting. In addition an archaeological watching brief was required to be undertaken during any downcutting works. |
