Full Description
Remains of a designed landscape possibly dating back to the 1700s or earlier, associated with Ury House (NO88NE0050). Features within the landscape include a walled garden (NO88NE0164), former coach-house (NO88NE0165), a girder bridge (NO88NE0367), the remains of a lodge (NO88NE0189), icehouse (NO88NE0166), aviaries, kennels, a curling pond, Second World War pill boxes and sections of anti-tank blocks which form part of the Cowie Line (NO88NE0087 and NO88NE0129), a cairnfield site (NO88NE0049), a cairn and enclosure site (NO88NE0057) and an area of three cairns (NO88NE0177). An archaeological evaluation was carried out in 2021 by Guard Archaeology in six areas across Ury Estate prior to proposed development, see Areas 1-3 (NO88NE0185), Area 6 (NO88NE0186) and Areas 4-5 (NO88NE0217). As part of these works, a walkover survey was also carried out in the northeastern extent of the development area in Slicewells Wood covering the cairnfield site (NO88NE0049) and cairn and enclosure (NO88NE0057). An archaeological evaluation was carried out in 2021 by Guard Archaeology adjacent to East Lodge Ury Estate prior to proposed development, see NO88NE0299.
