Abstract: |
A marking out survey was carried out over a triangular area some 41 ha on the south-east facing slopes of Peat hill at Carrifran, Dumfries and Galloway. The survey was carried out in advance of tree planting as part of the Carrifran Wildwood Project. There are in total six known sites or group of sites within the current area according to the national and regional monument records. These sites include two farmsteads (NT11SE 3 and 14) and three burnt mounds (NT11SE 11, 12, 13) on the lower slopes of the hill, and a group of shielings and enclosures situated on natural shelves half way up the steep hillside (NT11SE 16). During the marking out survey a few structures not previously known were recorded. These include a rectangular building at the south end of the farmstead NT11SE 14 at NT 1579 1122 and a few shieling huts and enclosures within the area of NT11SE 16. There were some indications that some of the structures within the group NT11SE 16 had been mapped in the wrong place. |
