Abstract: |
ARCHAS Cultural Heritage Ltd were contracted by Tilhill Forestry to undertake an archaeological inspection and walkover survey in advance of a proposed woodland creation scheme at Girharrow, near Moniaive in Dumfries and Galloway. The archaeological works followed discussions with the Dumfries and Galloway Archaeology Officer which identified concerns with the effect the proposals would have on three archaeological sites recorded on the NMRS and HER which were located within the limits of the proposed woodland. These sites were recorded as 'Cairnfields' and the survey was commissioned to adequately record these sites, while assessing their extent, condition and significance. The survey noted all three 'Cairnfields' identifying a large number of cairns as well as stock enclosures, structures and relict field boundaries. Where appropriate, suitable buffer zones have been recommended to avoid any direct impact upon these monuments. |
