It is possible that the Wrought Iron Gate to Stanley Hill represented in collection item IGL W/234/22 was intended for the arched gap in the wall to the left of 11 The Cross (NO04SW 111). There is no evidence that a gate ever occupied this gap, however.

Activities

Photographic Survey (June 1960)

Photographic survey by the Scottish National Buildings Record in June 1960.

Contour Survey (1998)

The icehouse is located on the southeast side of the hill, and results of the contour survey suggest it was constructed after the paths had been built. Excavations carried out by the NTS in 1995 removed around 4.5m of infill from the icehouse but did not reach the bottom. The finds recovered were 20th century in date suggesting that the icehouse had remained open until fairly recently.

Information from NTS (SCS) March 2014
