Abstract: |
The project comprised a baseline condition survey of all recorded archaeological and historical sites and monuments at Barry Buddon training camp, Angus, Scotland. The training camp lies in an area comprising rare and important sand dune systems, designated as a SSSI. Map evidence suggests that the land was not permanently settled until the late 18th century, and it was taken over by the army some 100 years later. A total of 46 sites were recorded. Some 24% of these are related to the early civilian settlement, with the remaining 76% consisting of military sites dating from the mid 19th century to the mid 20th century. Most of the military sites are shooting ranges, some of which are still in use. There are also several trench systems dating back to WW I used for trench warfare training. Some of these were re-used during WW II. The coastal dune landscape implies threats to the sites from coastal and wind erosion. These threats have to some degree been addressed and most sites were in a surprisingly stable condition, considering the highly dynamic environment. Only four sites seems to be in need of urgent attention, a collapsing listed lighthouse keeper''s building at Buddon Ness and three Allan Williams Turrets from WW II. |
