Archaeology Notes

NO12NW 9 10 1192 2685

NO 1192 2680 Drain. This feature runs south-west from very close to the lodge on the main drive at about NO 11922680. It is crossed by the embanked drive to the old cemetery 70 metres from the public road (A93), in such a way that water is impounded in the drain between this and the main drive, and two extra drains have been emplaced to remove the water. This suggests if it is culverted under the old drive, this is blocked, but more likely the construction of the drive to the cemetery terminated the use of the drain. It crosses the road leading to the west side of the yards about 30 metres from where this crosses the old drive, and it continues about fifty metres further before being impossible to follow in undergrowth. One function might have been a water-supply aqueduct, although it appears to be running towards the wells at NO 116265.
