Abstract: |
Archaeological monitoring works required by DG Design on behalf of Dumfries and Galloway Council in respect of proposed works to a section of the Kirk Wynd Cemetery Wall, which forms the SE wall of the cemetery at Langholm Old Parish Church and Burial Ground, Langholm, Dumfriesshire (NY 36515 84623). The proposed works comprise: repairs to the Kirk Wynn Cemetery Wall (which has become unsafe) consisting of the dismantling and rebuilding of a 30m section of south east walling (application no. 17/0928/LBC). Langholm Old Churchyard, is category C listed (HES no. LB37136) and comprises a steeply sloping, roughly square area with a lime mortar rubble wall enclosing mainly 18th and 19th C headstones. Within the graveyard there are the ruined fragments of the early 18th century church, with the gateway on north western wall. The proposed works involved the partial demolition of the unsafe section of the cemetery wall that defines the south eastern extent of the graveyard. The specifics required a 30m section of the wall to be reduced to ground level with new foundations to be excavated and the wall to be rebuilt with traditional lime mortar. |
