EHG6021 - Building survey - Roshven Farmhouse, Glenuig

Archaeological building recording was undertaken by Buildings Archaeology Ltd in 2023 at Roshven Farm, Glenuig. The recording was carried out in response to a condition attached to a planning application for proposed works for the erection of a dwelling house, incorporating the refurbishment and extension of the existing house. The site is a turn of the century farmhouse constructed in poured concrete, originally part of the wider Roshven Estate. The extant farmhouse was constructed at the turn of the 20th century on behalf of the Blackburn family, as part of a series of “improvements” carried out on the Roshven Estate. The building was constructed using the mass concrete construction method and replaced an earlier stone building. This farmhouse has been subsequently adapted and extended through the 20th century, resulting in its present form. <1>
