In early June of 1992 a structural survey of the post-medieval independant cooperage site at Coopers Lane, Campbeltown (NR 719 205) was carried out. The current building measures 16.2m by 7.2m and is 5.3mhigh and dates to the mid 19th century. Its predecessor lay along approximately the same ground plan with both the SW gable and SE wallbeing re-used. The earlier structure extended further to the NE and was 20m by 6.5m, evidence exists to show it was not as tall and had a roof supported on crux beams.
This project was funded by the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland and Glasgow Archaeological Society.
