Abstract:		 A magnetic gradiometer (magnetometer) survey was undertaken along 5.49km of the 6.5km proposed route of the Newhouses to Calfhill gas pipeline, that took place between the 9th and the 19th of November, covering a total survey area of 16.54 ha. This investigation was conducted under contract to Rhead Group (Ref: 09/2504/006), operating on behalf of Scotland Gas Networks, and was monitored by an archaeological consultant from Groundwork Archaeology Ltd. Some parts of the proposed route were deemed unsuitable for survey for reasons of land use, topography and drainage and were omitted from the survey. The results of the survey suggest that, as currently, the predominant historic land use throughout the proposed corridor has been agricultural. The evidence for this was the common presence of anomalies that have been attributed to both ridge and furrow cultivation and more modern ploughing. The results of the survey suggest one definite area of former settlement on the proposed route on the Threepwood Estate, where there is both cartographic (an estate map) and topographic evidence to support the presence of a post-medieval settlement. This site is assessed as being of High Archaeological Potential. A further two possible sites have been identified solely by geophysical survey. These comprise anomalies to the north and south of Colmsliehill. Both of these are assessed as being of Medium Archaeological Potential.
