Abstract:		 This report presents the results of an archaeological evaluation undertaken in respect to proposed mineral development at South Borland, Dunragit, Dumfries and Galloway (centred on NGR: NX 17800 57190). Due to the presence of steeply sloping ground, standing water and live services, the development area was reduced from 16.80ha to 10.64ha. An 8% (4,256 linear metres) sample of the area was investigated by the evaluation. The evaluation revealed the presence of significant archaeological remains in the form of a later prehistoric ring-groove structure, a flint rich deposit of Mesolithic date and a cluster of truncated cremation pits and post-holes. Human bone and two shards of decorated Beaker pottery were recovered from the cremation pits. The archaeological remains were localised, being restricted to a low rise at the edge of the coastal fringe. A single shard of unstratified medieval ceramic was also recovered from this area. Topsoil was relatively thin across the site with pockets of colluvium occurring in many of the lower lying trenches. Sub-soil consisted of free draining sands and gravels. Given the significance of the archaeological remains further mitigation will be considered necessary.
