Abstract: |
Archaeological monitoring works undertaken in respect of proposed works at Panlands Farm, Lockerbie, Dumfries and Galloway (NGR: NY 09119 89668). The proposed works comprised ground works for a silage clamp (planning application no. 19/0075/FUL - updated from previous application no. 17/1473/FUL) and a cubicle shed (planning application no. 19/0138/FUL). The site of the proposed development lies within 400m of the nationally significant Roman camp or fortlet at Hangingshaw, recorded on Dumfries and Galloway Historic Environment Record (HER ref. MDG6650), on the eastern bank of the river covering a known fording point. The road from the camp to the fortlet at Murder Loch may run through the area of the proposed development. In addition a prehistoric burial site is known 320m to the south-east (MDG6653), and an extensive prehistoric ritual complex exists on the same terrace above the River Annan just to the south at Lochbrow. The Scottish Archaeological Research Framework notes that Roman military sites should not be seen as isolated features, confined to the ditched defences and earthworks. Panlands Farm is also noted in the Historic Environment Record (MDG 10064) as Panlands Farmstead. As the proposals involve ground disturbance and down cutting works where there was the possibility of uncovering archaeological finds or features, Dumfries and Galloway Council asked for a programme of archaeological monitoring works to be undertaken as a requirement of the issued planning consent. The archaeological monitoring works in relation to the cubicle shed and silage clamp revealed a stony gravel or a clayey silt with a fairly concise drainage system in the southern half. Two linear features were noted, which after exploration appeared geological and two amorphous spreads which possibly contained charcoal were ascertained to be degraded rock. |
