NS 37526 60141 A watching brief and Level 2 building survey were undertaken, 27 April 2015 – 25 March 2016, during the restoration and consolidation of the built remains that form part of the designed landscape of the Castle Semple Estate, Lochwinnoch. The remains include an ice house, cave and three water cascade features located along the Blackditch Burn within Courtshaw Wood and are designated as Category B
monuments of regional significance (NS36SE 9.10, NS36SE 9.11, NS36SE 9.12, NS36SE 9.13). The work revealed the method used to construct the structures, including evidence of decorative wrought iron work on the coping stones of the middle cascade, a possible decorative fountain within the upper cascade fish pond, and a stone-lined culvert leading from the cave into the burn.
