NS 84935 50778 A desk-based study and site visit, were undertaken, in September and October 2018, on land surrounding Carluke High Mill which dates to 1797. The historic core of Carluke lies just to the south of High Mill and has a rich history dating back to at least the 14th century. Previous discoveries of prehistoric urns and beaker pottery in the general area suggest earlier activity as does a series of probable Roman roads which run through the landscape. The walkover revealed no upstanding archaeological remains other than those relating to the High Mill.
