Abstract: |
ARCHAS Cultural Heritage Ltd were contracted to undertake an archaeological evaluation in advance of the proposed development at Bankwood farm, south of Carnwath in South Lanarkshire. The client proposes to create a mixed use development comprising an equestrian riding complex including stables and horse breeding centre; a worker's dwellinghouse; four further dwellinghouses; and creation of an associated car park, access and landscaping. The archaeological works followed the placement of a planning condition upon the proposed development by the West of Scotland Archaeology Service in their role as advisers to South Lanarkshire Council. The condition required that a programme of archaeological evaluation be completed in advance of the proposed development. The archaeological evaluation involved the mechanical excavation of 6 evaluation trenches of varying sizes across the footprint of the proposed development. The western part of the site was found to be significantly disturbed, with deep deposits of made ground. The eastern side of the site was also shown to be archaeologically sterile. ARCHAS Cultural Heritage Ltd recommend that the planning condition be discharged. |
