Abstract: |
Archaeological investigative survey undertaken in regard to continuation of granite extraction for a further five year period at Barclosh Quarry, located near Dalbeattie in Dumfries and Galloway (NGR: NX 8466 6214). The proposed development work (extension of the existing quarry) lies within an area of archaeological interest relating to extensive late and post-medieval agricultural activity associated with Barclosh Castle and the later farmstead (HER ref. MDG4541). As the proposal would involve down-cutting works, which would remove any archaeological finds or features within the development area, Andrew Nicholson, Dumfries and Galloway Council Archaeologist, required archaeological works to be undertaken within the proposed extraction and working area prior to any further removal of material. The archaeological works comprised: recording of any upstanding earthworks and structures within the proposed quarry extension area specifically features relating to late and post-medieval agricultural activity - in particular to establish if any remains survived of a corn kiln(s), depicted on 1st edition OS mapping (1854) and mentioned in historical documentary sources (Maxwell W J, 1890). |
