Abstract:		 Archaeological investigative works undertaken in regard to proposed development works on a site works located at Altain Glen, Sandhead, near Stranraer, Wigtownshire (roughly centred on NGR NX 0975 4905). The proposed development works comprise: erection of poultry unit, installing of septic tank and 4 gas storage tanks. erection of 4 feed silos, formation of new access, erection of 1.2 metre high boundary fence and associated landscaping (planning application no 15/P/1/0134). A watching brief was carried out, 13-27 January 2016, during topsoil stripping associated with the construction of a poultry unit and a new access route. A total of 26 features of archaeological significance were noted. The features mainly consisted of pits, postholes or stakeholes, which appeared to be fairly randomly dispersed, but may form part of either smaller discreet features or a larger complex. The site has been radiocarbon dated to the Bronze Age (c3500-3700 years ago). Although a number of features had fragments or smears of charcoal associated with them, only one of the pits contained finds (a flint scraper and a hammerstone).
