Abstract:		 Mott MacDonald were commissioned to complete a targeted archaeological assessment of the Loganhead Forest, west of Langholm in Dumfries and Galloway in advance of felling of a larch plantation. The National Record of the Historic Environment and the Dumfries and Galloway Historic Environment Record catalogue the presence of a farmstead within the vicinity of the felling works. Recorded during a survey by the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historic Monuments of Scotland in 1981, the exact location of this heritage asset was unclear, and features may have existed on both sides of the Logan Water. Through consultation with the Dumfries and Galloway Archaeology Officer, the archaeological assessment targeted the site recorded in 1981, aiming to fully locate and record the extent of the remains, providing recommendations to preserve these during the felling works. The archaeological assessment failed to reveal any surviving elements of the farmstead recorded in 1981, indicating that these would have been destroyed during the phases of planting and felling either side of the Logan Water. The remnants of a drystone structure were recorded within the Arresgill Plantation south of the Logan Water, but this does not match the 1981 description and appears to be later in date. No specific recommendations are provided for the felling works within the Loganhead Forest north of the Logan Water. A toolbox talk should be provided to contractors outlining the potential presence of disrupted buried archaeological remains and how these should be recorded.
