Abstract:		 Archaeological monitoring works undertaken in respect of proposed works close to Drumlanrig Castle, near Thornhill in Dumfries and Galloway. The proposed works comprise: erection of ticket office and formation of decked area (17/1473/FUL). The proposal lies within the Area of Archaeological Interest relating to Roman finds made during the construction of the adventure playground (MDG21061) and the line of the ha-ha (MDG21375) associated with the Drumlanrig Inventory Designed Landscape. Examination of 19th century estate maps by McCallum and Dundas and subsequent Ordnance Survey mapping indicates that the area has been lightly wooded parkland since at least 1848. The proposals will involve ground disturbance and down-cutting which may affect any surviving buried remains associated with the Roman fort and marching camps to the southeast. Deposits related to the construction of the ha-ha may also be uncovered. Dumfries and Galloway Council Archaeology Service therefore requested that a watching brief be Data Structure Report - Drumlanrig Castle, Thornhill undertaken during all ground breaking works. The archaeological monitoring works revealed a fairly clean fine silted topsoil of varying depths above either a bright red very stony silt with frequent larger stones / rocks in the western half and a pale yellowy orange gritty silt containing a moderate to frequent amount of small stones (in the eastern half). With the exception of a few angular rocks / stones recovered at the eastern edge of the site, which may be related to the construction of the haha, no significant archaeological finds or features were uncovered.
