Abstract: |
A programme of archaeological survey works was undertaken on a study area of approximately 34ha of ground in respect to a proposed trunk road improvement to the A77 Glen App, South Ayrshire (centred NGR: NX 0933 7808).The study area is hill ground consisting of the boggy ground, forestry and arable fields. Ten archaeological sites were identified in the course of the works, of which three are considered to be likely to be adversely affected by the proposed build. The three sites with the potential to be directly affected are the site of a gravel pit; the line of an eighteenth century track and the route of the military way cum toll road. In addition there is also the potential for currently unidentified buried archaeology along the line of proposed road improvements. Rathmell Archaeology has recommended a series of issues that will need to be addressed by the proposed development and outlined a choice of mitigation strategies that may be developed within the context of specific development proposals. These encompass monitoring, evaluation, excavation and reporting. |
