Abstract: |
An archaeological survey carried out during April and May 2016 recorded the character of those elements of two sites (D121 and D122) that were at risk of impact from the construction stages of the South West Scotland Grid Connection project. The survey recorded and characterised the different elements of these sites which were shown to be: Site D121 - This site consisted of a field system comprising a series of earth and stone banks (121.4 - 121.9) which subdivided the area into at least five sub-rectangular enclosures, four of which contained the remnants of hand-dug rig and furrow (121.10 - 121.13). The northern end of the site was marked by the remains of a long wall 121.3, and two structures (121.1 and 121.2) sat at the higher end of the site to the east. The area was rough pasture along the western slopes of Craig of Knockgray; Site D122 - This site comprised the remains of a wall (122.1) which sat slightly outwith the extent of the field system recorded at site D121. The site sits in an area of overgrown vegetation within rough pasture. |
