Abstract:		 A programme of archaeological undertaken in respect of proposed works at Birrens Cottage, located near Ecclefechan in Dumfries and Galloway (NGR: NY 21816 75066). The proposed works comprised an extension to the existing Birrens Cottage (planning application no - 18/0315/FUL). Archaeological works were required as the proposed works were to be undertaken 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 Birrens to Broadlee, Roman forts, camps and henge (SM666; HER ref MDG7432). 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 proposed extension had the potential to affect any surviving subsurface archaeological features or deposits of national significance, archaeological works were required to ensure that any impacts upon the scheduled monument were minimised and that archaeological information is recovered and recorded to a satisfactory standard. As the works will involve disturbance within the scheduled area, Scheduled Monument Consent (SMC) was required from Historic Environment Scotland (HES). The proposed works comprised the excavation of three foundation trenches. The monitoring works indicated a fairly sterile silted topsoil above a clean silted clayey or gravelly subsoil. No significant archaeological deposits or finds were noted during the course of the monitoring works.
