NT 547 342 An archaeological watching brief in the grounds of Harmony Hall (NT 53 SW 40) was carried out in November and December 2001 during the machine topsoil stripping and excavation of foundation trenches for a new greenhouse and potting shed.
The remains of a mortar and stone foundation wall were revealed, as well as other features, including a cast-iron water pipe, brick platform and remains of a water tank, and levelling surface associated with an early 19th-century greenhouse.
In the E of the stripped area, a number of garden/cultivation soils and garden development deposits were uncovered. Fragments of 19th- and 20th-century pottery were recovered from these. The natural subsoil was not exposed anywhere in the excavated area.
