Abstract: |
Archaeological investigative works undertaken in regard to proposed development works on a site located at Bearcroft Farm, Holywood, Dumfries and Galloway (centred on NGR: NX 77028 98004). The proposed development works comprise the erection of two poultry breeding sheds with covered service link to existing poultry sheds and erection of two silos (planning ref. no. 16/P/3/0200). Archaeological works were required as the proposed development was located adjacent to an area of archaeological interest relating to enclosures, tracks and structures (visible as crop marks on aerial photographs) that could be associated with the medieval abbey of Holywood and its Anglican predecessor (HER ref. MDG13374). Some of the crop marks are linear, representing boundary ditches and trackways, and where visible and recorded appear to be proceeding in the direction of the proposed development. Given the potential to uncover sub surface remains that would be destroyed by the proposed development Dumfries and Galloway Council required a programme of archaeological works to be undertaken as a requirement of the issued planning consent. |
