Abstract: |
Archaeological works undertaken in respect of proposed works at Lockenkit Farm, Castle Douglas, Dumfries and Galloway (NGR: NX 77954 77756). The proposed works comprise the construction of a 750m agricultural track from Lockenkit Farm to Auchenhay Farm (planning application no. 19/1316/DPA). There were archaeological concerns as a section of the proposed track (east of the ford and upto the existing track) will possibly be constructed on, or adjacent to, an early road between Shawhead Village and Balmaclellan Village. This road which is depicted on maps / plans dating to 1700 is visible on aerial photographs as an earthworks or a slightly sunken way. As the proposals will involved ground disturbance which may affect possible archaeological remains Dumfries and Galloway Council Archaeology Service requested an initial walkover survey at the eastern end of the track. The results of the walkover survey would determine if further archaeological monitoring works were required during ground cutting works in the affected area. |
