Archaeological Notes

NN70SE 55 c. 782 013

NN70SE 86.00 78430 01479 Holmehill House

During site re-development the outer wall-face of a house, gable-end onto Sinclair St, was revealed. the wall was approximately 6.4m long with a maximum height of 2.08m. It contained two doorway enterances with chamfered jambs but showed no other architectural features. the NE end of the building wsa cut into the hill-slope and seemed to be linked to a retaining wall at right angles which was unfortunately much disturbed by mechanical excavation. No small finds were made. The building probably dates to the 18th century; the site was infilled to form a walled garden for Holmehill House which was built around 1826.
