NN 9365 5833. The excavation of a new electricity cable track at Sunnybrae Cottage (NN95NW 126) was monitored in April 1999. The trench was excavated by hand, and was backfilled on completion.
The cottage is an 18th-century structure, with a more recent extension having been added to the W side of the N wall. The structure is rubble-built, and is aligned approximately W-E. Historic Scotland has recently taken the building into care, as it is a rare example of a Perthshire cruck-roofed cottage.
The trench demonstrated that the area to the N of the house had remained largely undisturbed, with natural glacial sands and gravels, and has been modified by natural erosion (water). The main facade of the cottage lies on the opposite side from the trench (the S), and excavations within the garden area on this side may well yield more archaeological information than the lesser utilised N access.
