Abstract: |
Archaeological undertaken at the Former Workers Club, St John Street, Stranraer, Wigtownshire in Dumfries and Galloway. The planning application comprises: alterations, erection of extensions and change of use of former workers club to form three retail units (planning application no. 18/0427/FUL). The proposed development plot lies within the Archaeologically Sensitive Area covering the former medieval burgh of Stranraer (HER ref. MDG946). Nineteenth century Ordnance Survey mapping indicates that the current structure lies on the former sites of houses, fronting onto St Andrew Street and St John Street, and their respective gardens. The development site lies 80m east of the medieval Castle of St John. The archaeological works comprised monitoring of the excavation of three foundation trenches for extension (A) and recording of an area of slight ground reduction for extension (B). No significant archaeological deposits or finds were noted during the course of the monitoring works. |
