Abstract:		 A programme of archaeological works undertaken in respect of proposed works on a plot of ground in Townhead of Greenlaw, Castle Douglas in Dumfries and Galloway (NGR: NS 74005 64883). The proposed works comprise: erection of dwelling house with integral double garage, formation of access and installation of septic tank, soakaway and air source heat pump (Dumfries and Galloway Council planning application no. 17/1875/FUL). The proposed development falls within an area of archaeological interest relating to the Roman road and military camps at Glenlochar (HER ref: MDG4274 and MDG8812) and is immediately adjacent to a nationally designated Scheduled Monument known as 'Glenlochar, Roman fort, annexe, road, camps and barrows 50m E of Montford' (SM12792). The archaeological remains comprise of a complex of Roman military remains and a pair of later prehistoric round barrows, all visible as cropmarks on aerial photography. Recent transcriptions of aerial photographs suggest there are a number of pits are located at the south-eastern edge of the development plot. The proposal is for the part of the plot within the scheduled area to be left as an open undeveloped paddock. As Glenlochar Roman fort is a Scheduled Monument (SM 12792) and as such is legally protected under the Ancient Monument and Archaeological Areas Act 1979. Scheduled Monument Consent (SMC) was therefore required from Historic Environment Scotland (HES) to undertake any works within the scheduled area.
