Abstract: |
A historic environment assessment was required by SAC Consulting to inform a proposed planting scheme near Penicuik, Midlothian. A desk-based assessment and walkover survey was designed to establish a sound baseline on the historic environment within the landholding and to make recommendations on its management. The findings of the assessment and survey are presented in this report. Three historic environment sites were identified within the assessment area and are considered within this report. These comprise: two circular sheepfolds and a complex rectangular sheepfold. All three of these sites are likely to be of late 18th or 19th century origin. A fourth historic environment site, although lying outwith the assessment area, lay immediately adjacent and is hence included in the study. This was a trackway which is thought to have medieval origins, on account of the early medieval cross-base (Canmore ID: 50169; Midlothian HER: 8689) located in close proximity to the route on Monks Rig. |
