Abstract: |
In July 2004 North Pennines Archaeology Ltd was commissioned by Senator Homes Ltd to undertake an archaeological desk study in advance of proposed development at 103-115 Irish Street, Dumfries. The study involved the collection of all readily available information regarding the archaeological landscape of the study area, including the locations and settings of Scheduled Ancient Monuments, Listed Buildings, Parks and Gardens and other, non-designated archaeological remains. The report also sets out priorities for further investigation in accordance with the guidance set out in the Dumfries and Galloway Structure Plan and Finalised Nithsdale Local Plan. The development area falls within the centre of Dumfries, a designated Conservation Area and an area of archaeological potential recorded on the Dumfries and Galloway Sites and Monuments Record. It lies within a backlands area of the medieval town and has been developed since at least the 15th century. Owing to the potential for surviving archaeological remains it is anticipated that a programme of archaeological evaluation will be required prior to the commencement of construction on site. This report must be read in conjunction with the borehole survey undertaken by Robinson Environmental which describes the results of ground investigations which have taken place in September 2004. The results described below are appropriate to the scheme as correct at 27th September 2004. Any changes to the scheme options will require revision of the results described in this report. |
