Abstract: |
A programme of archaeological works was required by Johnson, Poole and Bloomer Ltd on behalf of Loudounhill Contracts Ltd in respect to the proposed extension and ongoing extraction of sand and gravel at Thirstone Quarry, South Lanarkshire, planning consent (08/01548/FUL). The archaeological works were designed to mitigate the impact on the archaeological remains within the development area. The archaeological investigative works consisted of an intrusive evaluation which was designed to assess a 5% sample of the proposed development area. All of the trenches excavated reached archaeologically sterile natural soil and all potential archaeological features were examined. No significant archaeological deposits and no anthropic material was uncovered in the course of the archaeological works. It was therefore recommended that no further works are required. |
