OS 6" map (1914)

NS 488 726 An archaeological watching brief carried out in January 2006 on the site of two house plots at Erskine Villa, Duntocher, recorded a small shallow pit filled with topsoil containing flower pot fragments and small slate fragments. Discrete deposits of crushed sandstone fragments overlain with blaze were also visible at intervals across the site. All the features recorded during the watching brief were believed to be associated with the development of Erskine Villa House and its gardens. No significant archaeology was encountered during monitoring of topsoil removal across the site.
