Abstract:		 Addyman Archaeology were contacted by DGA Forestry in order to undertake an archaeological survey and Desk Based Assessment of the area known as Forrest Estate near St. John's Town of Dalry in Dumfries and Galloway. Through an analysis of readily available historical records; historic and current aerial images; and a detailed cartographic regression, the Desk Based Assessment identified a total of fourteen possible sites within the boundaries of the development. Nine of these were subsequently located during the walkover survey, with an additional five further sites recorded, bringing the overall total of identified sites to nineteen. Almost without exception these sites relate to the agricultural and pastoral history of the development area and the majority are deemed to be of low, or negligible significance. It is recommended that all sites identified on the ground are avoided during the planting process, with the limits of the sites physically marked out by a team of qualified archaeologists. Two pre-improvement farmsteads noted during the DBA were located during the walkover and identified as of moderate significance. Mitigation measures will be required to ensure these remain unaffected by the development. Where planting is anticipated in these areas, it is recommended both sites are more thoroughly recorded through a process of topographical survey.
