Abstract:		 GUARD Archaeology Limited undertook an archaeological walkover survey and watching brief, prior to and during the erection of a metrological mast at Braidshaw Rig, Auchenleck, Dumfries and Galloway. The aims of the archaeological work were to assess evidence for the past human use of the area, its archaeological sensitivity, and to mitigate the potential impact of the metrological mast upon the archaeological resource. The walkover survey identified two known sites within the Site. These consisted of an extant sheepfold (Site 1) and a boundary bank (Site 8). Six sites (Sites 2-7) which had been previously noted within the site were not located during the walkover survey and are likely to be natural topographic features. A single previously unrecorded site was recorded during the walkover survey (Site 9). This consisted of the foundations of an earlier sheepfold, located directly to the north-east of the extant sheepfold (Site 1). Access to the site for the construction works was arranged so as to avoid all existing archaeological sites. This was adhered to throughout the works. The excavation of 12 anchor pits, along with the levelling of an area for the mast, were carried out under archaeological supervision. No archaeology features were uncovered during this phase of work.
