Abstract:		 In October 2010 Archaeological Research Services Ltd were commissioned by Tarmac Ltd to undertake an archaeological desk-based assessment for Coatsgate Quarry, Moffat, Dumfries and Galloway. The work was undertaken as part of three small planning permissions and a ROMPS review for the quarry, in order to assess the archaeological and historic significance of the site and the potential for impacts on the historic environment. The relevant archives were consulted and documentary, pictoral and cartographic evidence were studied. Forty-eight heritage assets were identified in a buffer around the proposed development area including five Scheduled Monuments, five Listed Buildings and a further eleven sites deemed to be of regional/local significance according to the HER. These included Bronze Age, Iron Age, Romano-British and early Medieval enclosures along with later medieval farmsteads. The impact on all but one of these sites is considered to be negligible or non-existent. However, the site of Camp Knowe, an Iron Age settlement and cairnfield of Regional/Local significance will be both directly impacted upon and have a detrimental impact on its setting, due to the proposed development. Any future extraction in this area of the quarry will need to be accompanied by an appropriate scheme of archaeological recording and appropriate measures to reduce, or offset, the impact of the quarry on the setting of the remaining upstanding features.
