Abstract: |
Archaeological undertaken in respect of proposed development works at Glenlochar Barrage, Glenlochar, Castle Douglas, Dumfries and Galloway (centred on NGR: NX 7330 6455). The proposed works comprise: widening of existing access onto B795 and construction of access track (planning ref. no. 17/0172/FUL)(amended site area to that previously approved under 16/P/2/1059). The works undertaken in this phase comprised the new road opening / bellmouth and 10-15m (approx) of the new access route. Archaeological works were required as the proposed development area lies within close proximity to the nearby Glenlochar Roman fort, road and marching camps (NX 73500 64528; MDG4266; NX76SW 2). The site also contained a bomb shelter relating to the Second World War defence of the barrage (MDG27001). Given the potential to uncover sub surface remains that would be potentially destroyed by the proposals, Dumfries and Galloway Council required a programme of archaeological works to be undertaken as a condition of the issued planning consent. The archaeological works required were: monitoring of all ground disturbance works associated with the proposed new road opening / bellmouth and 10-15m (approx) of the new access route. |
