Activities

Photographic Survey (16 May 2011)

A photographic survey of accessible areas of Argaty House was made by the RCAHMS Threatened Buildings team, following a major fire which caused extensive damage to the property.

Standing Building Recording (2 November 2011 - 13 November 2012)

NN 73702 03128 A programme of archaeological work was undertaken 12 March – 13 November 2012 prior to the proposed redevelopment of Argaty House, which was recently destroyed by fire. A desk-based assessment and Level 2 standing building survey were undertaken of the house (2-21 November 2011). A trial trench evaluation recorded a number of buried features in the building footprint. These consisted of mortar and flagstone floor surfaces and truncated walls associated with two earlier structures on the site. Wall footings, a stone conduit and modern services were also recorded. A watching brief was undertaken during the excavation of test pits dug to establish the depth and nature of the buildings foundations.
