Standing Building Recording (22 April 2013)
An archaeological building recording exercise was carried out by Alder Archaeology in advance of the development of a site at Pittiely Burn near Aberfeldy. The proposed development plan for the site called for the demolition of two ruinous drystone structures in the SE of the site to make way for a new dwelling house. A photographic survey was carried out to record the historic character of these structures and to provide a basic record prior to their demolition. This work was carried out on the 22nd August 2013. The other remains on the site, including all the other farmstead buildings, the lime kilns and the cup marked stone, are to be preserved during the development and to this end a protective fence has been placed around them. The line of this fence was designed by Alder Archaeology (with input from the developer) and approved by PKHT.
