Abstract:
An archaeological watching brief was carried out during topsoil stripping of ground chosen for development as part of the extension to the existing cemetery at Whithorn, Dumfries and Galloway. A small number of features were recorded during the watching brief including ditches, pits and a dry-stone revetment wall. The features represented activity that could be split into four different phases based on the site stratigraphy. The oldest phase was represented by a larger drain or boundary ditch, followed by an industrial phase signified by a gully and several pits filled with soil containing charcoal, slag and fragments of furnace lining. The latest phase was represented by the dry-stone revetment wall, most likely to be associated with the current cemetery to the south of the site.
