Abstract: |
ARCHAS Cultural Heritage Ltd were commissioned by Tilhill Forestry to undertake an archaeological watching brief associated with the upgrade of a forestry track and creation of a timber stacking area within an existing forestry plantation at Castle Craig. The site lies to the west of Peebles in the Scottish Borders Council area. The proposed stacking area is located directly adjacent to a Scheduled Monument known as the Lochurd Hills ring enclosures and mounds (SM2998). This site has been virtually subsumed within the 20th century forestry plantation, but a buffer zone of 25m was maintained around the limits of the monument and all ground breaking works nearby were monitored by the ARCHAS archaeological team. The watching brief failed to reveal any features or artefacts of archaeological interest. ARCHAS Cultural Heritage Ltd recommend that the archaeological obligations on this phase of the forestry work can be accepted as having been met. |
