Archaeology Notes

NT47NW 4.01 4180 7505.

NT 4180 7505 (OS revision 1958) During clearance work by the DoE in the grounds of Seton Collegiate Church the ruins of a complex of rooms came to light. They were probably associated with Seton Palace (NT47NW 3) in their later history, but show evidence of alteration and may embody the remains of the domestic residences of the 15th century college. They include a large kitchen fireplace once contained within a low arch of wide span; and oven; a domestic fireplace with a 16th century mouldings to jambs and lintel; a well; a trough, pond, or dam, whose water supply was controlled by a sluice; the lay-out of a mill-wheel, and an expanse of cobbling which extends up the slope and under the grass. These ruins have been consolidated and remain uncovered.

Walling located and surveyed on field document (OS revision 1958).

S Cruden 1958.

These remains are as described.

Visited by OS (BS) 16 October 1975.
