Standing Building Recording (16 May 2017 - 20 February 2018)
HS 42386 63356 An Enhanced Level 2 Historic Building Recording Survey (HBR) was carried out by GUARD Archaeology Limited, on behalf of 4th Consulting Limited, on an area proposed for development at the former Paton's Mill site, Johnstone. The Enhanced Level 2 HBR survey consisted of a full photographic and written description of the buildings on the site, along with a measured survey of two elevations (Building 1.1 and Building 7). Most of the buildings were in a state of collapse and access inside was limited. Therefore, the HBR survey was limited to what was safely accessible. A further watching brief and evaluation was carried out over the location of the Mill owners house. However, no evidence of this structure was uncovered and it is likely that it was completely removed prior to or during the construction of the modern mill buildings in the early twentieth century.
