NT 556 725 Four trenches (10% of the proposed development) were excavated by hand, on 18–20 June 2006, to evaluate the potential for archaeological remains in the walled garden in the vicinity of a previously demolished 18th-century manse.
The fieldwork revealed a stone drain and a series of possible exterior surfaces. The stone drain may be contemporary with the old manse although it had a later insertion of clay piping. Two courses of foundation masonry, interpreted as structural remains of the manse, were found. A building appraisal was undertaken of a section of the garden’s walls, incorporating part of the surviving gable of the demolished manse, and a later outbuilding now used as a potting shed.
