Abstract:		 An archaeological Survey carried out during April and May 2016 recorded the character of those elements of two sites (labelled D56 and D58) that were at risk of impact from the construction stages of the South West Scotland Grid Connection project. The survey recorded and characterised the different elements of these sites which were shown to be: Muck Water (D56) - This portion of the D56 site consisted of a pre-improvement settlement (known as Craig) comprising an enclosure (56.1) and house (56.2) with an area of hand-dug rig (56.3). These site elements are in rough pasture at the back of a terrace to the east of Muck Water; Mossdale (D56) - This portion of the D56 site was a field system comprising a series of sinuous banks (56.4 - 56.12) which sat along the southern slopes of Snabb Hill in a mixture of rough grazing and commercial forestry. Within this field system there was a sub-rectangular structure (56.14) and a cairn (56.13); and Trough Burn (D58) - This site consisted of a head dyke (58.1) running from Tough Burn to Mossdale Burn with a small area of rig and furrow (58.2). The head dyke was linked to a banked enclosure (57.1) within which a later stone sheepfold was set (57.2). The area was rough grazing, with significant waterlogged areas.
