Abstract: |
Archaeological monitoring works required by Buccleuch Rural Solutions on behalf of their client, in respect of proposed development works at Arkland farm, Thornhill, Dumfries and Galloway (NGR: NX 8031 9790). The proposed works comprise of the erection of an agricultural shed (planning ref. no. 16/1240/ DPA). Archaeological works are required as the development lies within an area of archaeological interest relating to an earthwork to the south of the steading and a hollow way that possibly follows the line of a former ditch (MDG5693). The 19th century Ordnance Survey maps suggest that the earthwork is a prehistoric fort - though in the 1970s they revised their view and considered that the features may be natural. However, archaeologists from the Royal Commission also considered it to be an archaeological feature. To ascertain the nature of the feature Dumfries and Galloway Council have required a programme of archaeological works to be undertaken as a requirement of the issued planning consent. Dumfries |
