Abstract:		 An archaeological programme of evaluation by means of trial trenching, building survey and open-area excavation was carried out The evaluation revealed few archaeological features; the majority comprised infilled furrows or boundary ditches sealed beneath thin topsoil. The trenches around Hillhead farmstead revealed that several features associated with the 19th century farm buildings survived below ground, with earlier boundary and drainage ditches also recorded; one of which contained a redeposited quern of probable prehistoric date. In the trenches targeting the pre-19th century Back of the Hill farmstead, archaeological remains were recorded in the form of a boundary ditch from which a medieval jug base was retrieved. The two areas of open excavation sought to reveal further features around Hillhead and to identify any remains that would better locate the Back of the Hill farmstead. At Hillhead, remains relating to an earlier settlement phase were recorded and included drainage and enclosure ditches containing predominantly 18th century artefacts. A garden plot of narrow furrows was also revealed. In the second area targeting Back of the Hill farmstead, a number of significant features representing the remains of the settlement depicted on Roy`s map of 1747-55 were identified. The remains of a likely rudimentary byre were identified and further structural remains survived in the form of stone wall bases, cobbling and beam slots. Additional features included a series of pits and an enclosed garden plot. The artefacts retrieved were principally ceramics dating to the 17th-18th centuries.
