Archaeology Notes

NN30SW 31 3032 0419

NN 3032 0419 An archaeological evaluation of a building, suspected to have an earlier phase of settlement, in an area proposed for redevelopment, was undertaken in January 1999.

The building and surrounding area of proposed development, which included part of Caulfield's [Caulfeild] military road, were surveyed using a total station. Trial trenching both inside and outside the building revealed that it was a double cottage with its origins in the first half of the 19th century. The structure had clearly undergone several phases of substantial modification throughout its well-documented history; including a period in the early 20th century as accommodation for the casual sick. (GUARD 686).

A full report has been lodged with the NMRS.

Sponsor: Argyll and Bute Council.
