Abstract: |
Addyman Archaeology were contacted by UPM Tillhill Ltd. in order to undertake an archaeological survey and Desk Based Assessment (DBA) of the area known as Larriston in the Scottish Borders. It is proposed to plant the area with forestry. The DBA and associated research identified 58 potential and known sites within the boundaries of Larriston. These ranged from the sites of medieval tower houses, to the 19th century lime workings and numerous agricultural enclosures. 42 of these identified sites were also located during the walkover, where a further 8 previously unknown sites were recorded. This gives an overall total of 66 identified cultural heritage sites within the boundaries of the Larriston site. These were of varying cultural heritage significance and the vast majority will be impacted by the development to some degree. It is recommended that the planting avoids all visible, above ground sites recorded during the walkover. All sites identified during the walkover should be marked out on the ground by the archaeological team prior to the site works commencing. It is recommended two sets of lime kilns (Sites 43Q and 45O) undergo a basic level of archaeological recording and are subjected to a programme of interpretation, with increased access through promoted walks. |
