Archaeology Notes

NS44NE 14 477 482

Mill and dam, Swinzie Burn: Downstream the N bank is walled on a curve fronting a flat area 20 1/4ft by 15ft between 4ft walls, presumably a mill. Opposite the SW corner of the mill a stretch of walling extends from the opposite bank of the stream. Upstream, beyond the curve, short lengths of turf dyke descend the slopes on either side, and the stream bed is walled between. A narrow channel passes from a gap in the turf dyke on the N bank and runs as a lade to rejoin the stream at the E end of the mill.

This has been destroyed by forestry ploughing. APs dating from 1952 (RAF APs: 540/802:4186-7) show nothing in this area.

Visited by OS (JRL) 18 October 1982.
