• KD037-009 Mound
  Description

  Shown as a small circular mound on 1909 OS 6-inch map (max diam. c. 25m). Referred to by Meldon as an 'old tumulus' (JKAS 1891-1895, 96). No visible surface traces. Test-trenching (04E1021) of new house in vicinity produced no archaeology. 'Excavations 2004' 2007, No. 824, p.197. Date of upload: 8 September 2016

  Description

  The gatehouse to St Leger's castle and bawn (No. 37:11) which was levelled in 1971. It was described as being a miniature replica of the castle (JKAS 1891-3, 101). Test-trenching (04E1021) of new house in vicinity produced no archaeology. 'Excavations 2004' 2007, No. 824, p.197. Date of upload: 8 September 2016

• KD037-011 Castle - unclassified
  Description

  A dower of 1418 mentions Grangemellon as including a weir, a rabbit warren, four messuages and a stone house, and an inventory dated 1625 mentions the 'castle, town, and lands of Grangemellon. The castle was levelled in 1840 and its gatehouse in 1971 (JKAS 1972, 100), but was described in 1892 (Weldon 1891-5, 96) as two octagonal towers flanking an archway and built in Jacobean style. In 1782 the remains consisted of the 'main building with two octagon towers with heavy pediment and cornice between and the entrance to it through a gateway which is exactly like the house' (Weldon 1891-5, 101), probably indicating the building was a fortified house. The only visible remains consist of portions of brick-faced orchard and garden walls. Test-trenching (04E1021) of new house in vicinity produced no archaeology.
