Abstract: |
Archaeological works undertaken in respect of proposed works at Over Cassock, located near Eskdalemuir, Langholm, Dumfriesshire. The proposed works comprise the widening of an existing access route from 4m to 6m to allow for felling operations. The proposals lie within an area recognised as being of national importance and designated as a scheduled monument under the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act (1979) relating to Over Cassock Fort and Enclosures 40m SW of (SM ref 4723; HER ref MDG474). The monument comprises the upstanding remains of a fort and later enclosures, visible as a series of turf and stone banks and ditches and likely to date to the later prehistoric period. As the works involved disturbance within the scheduled area, Scheduled Monument Consent (SMC) was therefore required from Historic Environment Scotland (HES). |
