Abstract: |
A programme of archaeological assessment and survey works was required by Forestry Commission Scotland in respect of a series of defined land parcels on the Kilpatrick Hills in West Dunbartonshire (centred NGR: 246987, 676438). This land is largely open ground which is proposed for afforestation. This archaeological survey has been designed to establish a sound baseline on the archaeological resource within the landholding of the Forestry Commission Scotland and hence inform their management of the ground. The archaeological survey works were carried out during June, 2012. Fifty-three potential cultural heritage sites have been identified by the assessment within the study area; forty-seven of which lie within the proposed location for the planting scheme. It is likely that twenty-seven of these sites are of a local or regional significance. Given the nature of land use within the development area these significant sites are still likely to survive in reasonably good condition. Recommendations for the preservation in-situ of these twenty-seven sites have been made in keeping with best practice and suggestive recommendations for public amenity use has been incorporated into this study. |
