Abstract: |
Addyman Archaeology undertook an archaeological survey and desk-based assessment (DBA) of an area around Beirhope Farm, near Hownam in the Scottish Borders, prior to a proposed woodland planting scheme. Through an analysis of readily available historical records, current aerial images, and a detailed cartographic regression, the Desk Based Assessment identified a total of twenty-seven possible sites within the boundaries of the development. Twenty-one of these sites were identified during the walkover survey, with an additional four further sites recorded. 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 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. |
