Abstract
Excavations at Albie Hill, Applegarthtown, Annandale, Dumfries and Galloway
Richard Strachan
9 - 15
A summarised version of a full archive report which has been deposited in the National Monuments Record of Scotland. Evidence for a date of the cropmark enclosure site has proved inconclusive but small finds of pottery and stone appear to indicate activity from early prehistory onwards. The find of a balanced iron sickle blade (common in Roman contexts) is particularly noted as a possible votive deposit.
Roman penetration in eastern Dumfriesshire and beyond
Allan Wilson
17 - 62
Reviews the evidence for a system of Roman roads drawing on earlier work by Antiquaries and archaeologists and by examination of early maps and aerial photographs. There is an appendix on: `Other possible lines of Roman penetration' (54--6).
The linear earthworks of southern Scotland; survey and classification
John W Barber
63 - 164
Details the work of a project set up to assess the levels of deterioration on previously surveyed sites and notes procedures put in place to prevent or reduce further damage. A classification is proposed based on the function of earthworks as dividers of land for political and economic reasons. Two sections of the multi-period groupings and reports are separately authored: `Group 2: Economic land divisions' by E Lawes-Martay (72--7); and `The catrail' by J Milln (79--83). There are a number of appendices in the form of tables which arrange sites variously (147--64).
Dervorgilla, the Balliols and Buittle
Richard Oram
165 - 181
Relates the histories of the lady of Galloway and her descendants and considers the development of Buittle Castle from the latter end of the thirteenth century until its destruction in 1312. Later activity at the ancestral caput by Edward Balliol is noted although the date of the eventual abandonment of the site is unknown.
Dumfries Burgh Court books in the sixteenth century
A E Truckell
183 - 194
Details of official records drawing a graphic picture of everyday life in the 1500s.
Crime and punishment in seventeenth-and eighteenth-century records of Dumfries
Marion M Stewart
195 - 208
Second part of an article (see 99/1891).
The first English ironworks in Scotland?: the `forge' at Canonbie, Dumfriesshire
Alan R MacDonald
209 - 221
Studies of timber contracts have revealed evidence for the establishment of a furnace close to the border by three Englishmen in 1699. It is hoped that detailed archaeological excavation will uncover physical traces of the works which have not come to light through fieldwork.
Two mediaeval inscribed stones from Dumfries
A E Truckell
224 - 225
Reviews the find of an abecediary from business premises built on the site of the Church of St Mary of the Grey Friars on Castle Street in the 1960s. The piece of red sandstone is inscribed with the first seven letters of the alphabet in Lombardic script which dates it to the 1260s. Also discusses a piece of granite which formed part of a kerb until its removal in the late 1950s or early 1960s which is also inscribed with Lombardic script and is thought to have come from St Gregory's Ludgeing in Queensberry Square and Munches Street.
Lockerbie Tower
Alastair M T Maxwell-Irving
225 - 226
Notes the discovery of a plan made of the building before its demolition in 1967.
