Abstract: |
Archaeological works undertaken in respect of proposed works at Carronbridge near Thornhill in Dumfries and Galloway. The proposed works comprise a project to upgrade the Penpont 11kV Overhead Line. The works will involve the removal of old poles and insertion of new poles and stay wires. A section of the works (poles 18; 19 and 20) required to be undertaken within an area recognised as being of national importance and designated as a Scheduled Monument under the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act (1979) relating to Carronbridge Roman Fortlet and enclosures at Carronbridge (SM4093 - centred on NGR: NX 86933 97755) (see section 2). The monument comprises the remains of a fortlet and enclosures which are visible as cropmarks on aerial photographs. As the works involved disturbance within the scheduled area, Scheduled Monument Consent (SMC) was required and granted from Historic Environment Scotland (HES). |
