Abstract:		 Archaeological monitoring was undertaken of the machine cleaning of a pre-stripped area in response to a planning condition for the proposed development of a single house plot on land at Townfoot Steading, Roberton. The proposed development site is in the immediate vicinity of cropmarks identified on aerial photographs, indicative of prehistoric settlement, while two Scheduled Ancient Monuments of Medieval origin are sited nearby (SAM 2596 and 8775). An area 22m by 16m was stripped of the remaining topsoil and the underlying subsoil scraped to expose any surviving archaeological features. The topsoil comprised 0.4m of dark brown clayey silt, with frequent stone inclusions. Underlying that was geological deposits of light brown gravels, shale lenses and frequent sub-round and sub-angular stone inclusions. No features or artefacts of archaeological significance were revealed during the programme of works. If features were present within the development area, their removal does not appear to be a result of the partial stripping of the site prior to archaeological monitoring, but may be due to ploughing activity in shallow topsoil.
