Abstract: |
Archaeological works required by Ken Duncan (Architect) on behalf of his client, in respect of proposed development works at land south of Lochside Parish Church. Lochside Road, Dumfries (NGR: NX 95849 77429). The proposed works comprise: erection of church hall and formation of access and parking (planning ref. no. 15/P/3/0522). Archaeological works were required as the proposed development plot is on the site of the former farm of Lochside (HER ref MDG25524), depicted on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey Map (MDGHER 18540) as a courtyard farmstead with principal ranges on the northwest and northeast. Trial excavations in 2011 showed that some remains of the northwest wing survived but that most of the northeast wing appeared to have been removed by creation of a later road. Although initial development proposals left a buffer strip along the north western edge in order to preserve the remains uncovered in 2011, an amendment to the proposal now requires a services trench to be excavated within the buffer strip. Dumfries and Galloway Council Archaeology Service, therefore required a programme of archaeological monitoring works to be undertaken during the excavation of the services trench. The monitoring works were required to enable any further remains that are uncovered to be recorded and any finds recovered. During the course of the site works it was decided to excavate an additional trench to the SW of the proposed services trench, to provide additional ground if required. |
