Excavation of a grain-drying kiln and mill lade at Kettlestoun Mains, Linlithgow, West Lothian

Summary The Centre for Field Archaeology is contracted to undertake archaeological monitoring of a six year gravel extraction programme at Kettlestoun Mains, Linlithgow. In the first year of this project, the remains of a grain-drying kiln, containing charred oat seeds and chaff, and a mill lade were excavated. Both of these structures contained post-medieval pottery and represent parts of a wider post-medieval landscape revealed by analysis of documentary evidence.
