Archaeology Notes

NS06SE 30.00 West range, farmhouse

NS06SE 30.01 North and east ranges, horse engine platform

NS06SE 30.02 South range, horse engine platform

Kilwhinleck is a working farmsteading comprising a cluster of mainly 19th century buildings around a square yard, with the farmhouse incorporated into the WNW side. None of the buildings was recorded in detail on the date of visit.

‘Killlwinlaig’ is depicted on Roy’s Military Map (1747-55) and the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Buteshire 1869, Sheet CCIV) shows that ‘Kilwinlick’ comprised the present farmhouse and SSW range, conjoined in an L-plan, and the NNE range. By the end of the 19th century, the NNE range had been extended along the ESE side of the yard. The 2nd edition of OS 25-inch map (Buteshire 1897, Sheet CCIV.9) also shows two horse-engines, one attached to outside face of the NNE range, the other attached to the outside face of the SSW range.
