Abstract:		 AOC Archaeology Group were commissioned by Historic Environment Scotland to undertake an evaluation excavation at High Milton Dun, Craigoch, Dumfries and Galloway. The excavations aimed to assess the survival of archaeological structures and deposits following stone quarrying at the site. The excavations comprised: Trench 1 a 10m by 1.5m trench spanning the enclosure wall and the surviving dun interior; Trench 2 was a 1m by 1m test pit located at the base of the rocky knoll upon which the dun sits. Trench 1 identified a bank at the crest of the knoll enclosing a circular stucture, with a suggested internal diamter of c.8.8m. Within the circular struture was an area of rough paving and associated occupation deposit. These structures were overlain by rubble collapse deposits. Trench 2 at the base of the knoll, revealed only rubbble derived from the collapse of the dun structure. Alongside these trench excavations the exposed rock face where the stone quarry has damaged the monument interior was cleaned in a series of 1m panel sections. Reconaissance augering was also undertaken to gauge the potential for survival of palaeoenvironemental material.
