Abstract:		 A desk-based assessment was undertaken by Headland Archaeology Ltd on land at Kilgallioch, South Ayrshire and Dumfries and Galloway in advance of a planning application for the construction of a new wind farm. The central area of the development is located largely located within an extensive area of commercial forestry, established after 1950. The outer edges of the proposed wind farm are located on rough upland heather moor. There are numerous archaeological features surviving within the site boundary, many of which are Scheduled Ancient Monuments. Most of these are located in an area designated as an Archaeologically Sensitive Area by Dumfries and Galloway Council to the south west of the development. There are cairns, hut circles and burnt mounds indicating that a prehistoric landscape has been preserved due to the lack of later intensive farming on the site. Possible Medieval and later activity is mainly agricultural and domestic in origin in the form of farmsteads and field systems and is slow to change. The area has not been subject to excessive development until modern commercial forestry partially covered the site leading to good preservation of upstanding archaeological features. The preservation of any unknown below ground archaeological features may be good in the un-forested areas. Contrastingly the intrusive nature of modern commercial forestry means that the likelihood of previously unknown below ground archaeological features being preserved is slight in the forested areas.
