DATA ENTRY FORM

PROJECT INFORMATION

Project Title Shepherds' Rig Wind Farm

Description An archaeological desk-based assessment (DBA) has been undertaken by Arcus Consultancy services Ltd. ('Arcus') on behalf of Infinergy ('client') of land between Craigengillan Hill and Marscalloch Hill in Dumfries and Galloway. The purpose of the DBA is to inform the Planning Authority for a proposed wind farm development (herein referred to as 'the Development'), for which a planning application is to be submitted in 2014.

The Site (Figure 1, Plate 1) is located off the B729, which connects the B7000 to Moniaive. The land is predominantly covered by commercial plantation forestry at various stages of growth (Plate 1). The entire site has been under commercial plantation forestry at one point or another and the land shows signs of significant disturbance caused by tree root movement and growth.

The data collection exercise has identified a total of 116 features within the wider study area, which extends up to 1 km from the Site boundary. These features include three Scheduled Monuments and two Listed Buildings.

It is considered that any work undertaken on this site would have low potential to have a direct impact upon, previously undiscovered archaeological remains.

NON-TECHNICAL SUMMARY

An archaeological desk-based assessment (DBA) has been undertaken by Arcus Consultancy services Ltd. ('Arcus') on behalf of Infinergy ('client') of land between Craigengillan Hill and Marscalloch Hill in Dumfries and Galloway. The purpose of the DBA is to inform the Planning Authority for a proposed wind farm development (herein referred to as 'the Development'), for which a planning application is to be submitted in 2018.

The Site (Figure 1, Plate 1) is located off the B729, which connects the B7000 to Moniaive. The land is predominantly covered by commercial plantation forestry at various stages of growth (Plate 1). The entire site has been under commercial plantation forestry at one point or another and the land shows signs of significant disturbance caused by tree root movement and growth.

The data collection exercise has identified a total of 98 features within the wider study area, which extends up to 1 km from the Site Boundary. These features include three Scheduled Monuments and two Listed Buildings. Within the Site, 18 heritage assets were identified from data provided by the Dumfries and Galloway Historic Environment Record.

It is considered that any work undertaken on this site would have low potential to have a direct impact upon, previously undiscovered archaeological remains.

There is potential for indirect impacts to affect sites in the proposed Development site and within and beyond the wider study area. This will be fully investigated in the EIA, taking into account the way in which the proposed Development will affect the setting of significant sites.

This report was originally prepared by J. Barnes, on behalf of Arcus in December 2013, it has subsequently been revised and updated by R. Humphreys, on behalf of Wessex Archaeology, in October 2018.

1 INTRODUCTION

An archaeological desk-based assessment (DBA) has been undertaken by Arcus Consultancy services Ltd. ('Arcus') on behalf of Infinergy ('client') of land between Craigengillan Hill and Marscalloch Hill in Dumfries and Galloway. The DBA has been updated and revised in 2018 by Wessex Archaeology on Behalf of Arcus. The purpose of the DBA is to inform the Planning Authority for a proposed wind farm development (herein referred to as 'the Development'), for which a planning application is to be submitted in December 2018.

To assess the potential for on-site archaeology a study area was defined. The core of the study area is the Development site and is referred to hereafter as the “Site”, the boundary of which is shown on Figure 1. The Development is to be situated on land centred on NGR NX 62492 93636 approximately 5 km east of Carsphairn (Figure 1). The ”Site” covers an area of approximately 15.6 km2 and is predominantly covered by commercial plantation forestry.

A wider study area, which includes the Site and land within a 1 km radius (Figure 2) of it, has been used to aid the assessment for potential unknown archaeology to survive within the Development footprint. Together, the Site and the Wider Study Area constitute the Core Study Area as described in Chapter 11 of the Environmental Statement which will accompany the forthcoming Application.

1.1 The Development

The Development would consist of up to 19 turbines with a maximum height of 146.5 metres (m) to blade tip, with associated turbine foundations, crane hardstanding, access road, cabling and grid connection.

The wind turbines would be operational for up to 25 years and hence will not be considered a permanent feature within the landscape. At the end of 25 years the site will be decommissioned. Once decommissioned all above ground equipment would be dismantled and removed. Alternatively, the Developer may apply for planning permission to extend the operational life of the Development.

During construction and operation, the Development may have direct or indirect impacts upon the archaeological features within the area. The effects of the Development will be fully assessed as part of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) process1.

1.2 Legislation, Policy and Guidance

The assessment has been undertaken taking into account relevant heritage legislation and guidance as outlined below.

1.2.1 Legislation

• Statutory protection for archaeology is principally outlined in Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act (1979)2 as amended by the Historic Environment (Amendment) (Scotland) Act (2011)3 and nationally important sites are listed in a Schedule of Monuments. Scheduled Monument Consent (SMC) is required before any work affecting the fabric of a Scheduled Monument can be carried out; and

• The Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) (Scotland) Act 19974 (As amended by the Historic Environment (Amendment (2011) details the duties of National and Local Authorities regarding the desirability of preserving and enhancing settings.

1.2.2 National Policy

• Scottish Planning Policy (SPP)5, paragraphs 110 to 124 set out how all types of historic environment assets are to be dealt with within the planning framework;

• Detail on how this high-level policy should be applied in practice is detailed in the Historic Environment Scotland Policy Statement 20166, this replaces the operational practices which were set out in the Scottish Historic Environment Policy (2011).

1.2.3 Local Policy

• The Dumfries and Galloway Local Development Plan was adopted in September 20147. Policies HE1 - HE6 relate to the safeguarding of the historic environment, with policies HE3 and HE4 relating specifically to the protection of archaeological remains.

1.2.4 Relevant Guidance

• Standards and Guidance for historic environment desk-based assessments provided by the Chartered Institute for Archaeologists8 advises that the aim of a DBA is to gain information about the known and potential archaeological resource within the planning application site boundary (The Application site) and that from this an appraisal can be made on the presence of absence of archaeology.

2 AIMS, METHODOLOGY AND SOURCES

2.1 Aims

The Aim of this DBA is to:

• Establish the baseline information regarding archaeology in the Site and wider study areas;

• To establish the archaeological potential and significance of the Site; and • To assess the potential for the Development to harm archaeological resources, either

directly or indirectly, within the Site and wider study area.

2.2 Methodology

The following methodology follows those guidelines as outlined in the Chartered Institute for Archaeologists' Standards and Guidance Paper for historic environment desk-based assessment (2014, revised 2017)9.

The DBA comprises of a written report including a description of the baseline heritage resource and archaeological potential of the study area, a description of the area's historic

character, the archaeological and historical baseline's significance, the effect of proposed development upon the outlined archaeological and historical resource and potential mitigation strategies. The following section outlines the methodology used to fulfil the aims of the assessment stated in 2.1 above.

To inform this DBA an archive search was undertaken in order to identify records of known archaeological features which have the potential to be affected by the Development. This archive search also collected data falling within the wider study area, to inform the assessment of the physical and ground-based archaeological potential of the site. The following sources were consulted in accordance with the best practice guidelines laid down by the Chartered Institute for Archaeologists10 (CIfA).

• The National Monuments Record of Scotland (NMRS) including;

▪ Aerial Photography Collection, consulted 22/11/2013; ▪ Archaeological Records, received 05/11/2013; ▪ Database of World Heritage Sets, dataset downloaded 08/10/2013; ▪ Database of Scheduled Monuments, dataset downloaded 08/10/2013; ▪ Database of Listed Buildings, dataset downloaded 08/10/2013; ▪ Database of Inventoried Gardens and Designed Landscape, dataset downloaded

08/10/2013; ▪ Database of Inventoried Battlefields, dataset downloaded 08/10/2013; and ▪ Database of Conservation Areas, dataset downloaded 08/10/2013.

• The Dumfries and Galloway Historic Environment Record, data received05/04/2018; • The Statistical Accounts of Scotland; and • Cartographic Evidence as held by the National Library of Scotland (NLS), consulted on

22/11/2013.

These resources have been collated and examined alongside the results of any recent fieldwork.

To accompany this consultation, a site walkover has also been conducted to verify the written records, to assess the character of the site and to note any archaeological features not previously identified. Any previously unknown sites were recorded by use of digital photography, an appropriate scale, and a hand-held GPS.

The results of this work have informed the archaeological baseline and archaeological potential of both the archaeological and wider study areas. This baseline has then been cross-referenced with the proposed Development scheme to assess the potential for the Development to harm archaeological resources situated with the Development footprint.

3 RESULTS

The results of the DBA are summarised below. Site number references correlate to Table 1.3 found in Appendix I.

3.1 Site study area description

The Site study area (Figure 1, Plate 1) is located off the B729, which connects the B7000 to Moniaive. The land is predominantly covered by commercial plantation forestry at various stages of growth (Plate 1). The entire site has been under commercial plantation forestry at one point or another and the land shows signs of significant disturbance caused by tree root movement and growth.

The solid geology primarily consists of Wacke, a sedimentary bedrock formed approximately 451 to 461 million years ago in the Ordovician period. Superficial deposits

across the majority of the study area are made up of Devensian till however there are some small pockets of peat across the site11.

The site rises from a height of approximately 200 m AOD in the valley to the east to 401 m AOD to the tip of Craigengillan Hill and 381 m AOD to the tip of Marscalloch Hill.

3.2 HER and NMRS results summary

Consultation of the HER and NMRS has identified a total of 98 features within the wider study area, which extends up to 1 km from the Site boundary. These features include three Scheduled Monuments (1043, 1095, 2238), two Listed Buildings (3628, 3627 ), two non-designated features considered to be of national importance (MDG3944, MDG3956 ) and one Archaeological Sensitive Area (ASA). There are no Inventoried Gardens and Designed Landscapes, Inventoried Battlefields or World Heritage Sites situated within the core or wider study areas.

Of the above, 18 records of features located within the Site area were returned. These include the Scheduled Monument Craigengillan Cairn (2238) a substantial prehistoric cairn situated on the eastern boundary of the Site (Plates 2-3). There are no further features considered to be of national importance within the Site. Other features considered to be of local to regional significance situated within the Site include numerous sheepfolds, enclosure and field systems as well as isolated examples of buildings and possible cairns.

3.3 Cartographic Analysis

The National Library of Scotland’s map collection was consulted on the 16/04/18. The following summarises findings for both the Site and wider study areas.

• Crawford, William - Map of Dumfries-shire (north west section) 1804 – the Craigengillan Hill appears on this map and a rough topography of the area is depicted. There are no further details.

• Ainslie’s Map of the Southern Part of Scotland (left side) 1821 – Craigengillan Hill appears on this map and a rough topography of the area is depicted. There are no further details.

• John Thomson’s Atlas of Scotland - Dumfriesshire (top left section) 1832 – Craigengillan Hill appears on this map appears on this map and a rough topography of the area is depicted. There are no further details.

• Ordnance Survey - Kirkcudbrightshire, Sheets 5-6 1853 – The study area is shown and includes landscape features such as the rock formations at Goat Craig. There is a ‘Sheep Bee’ to the south-west of the core study area (referenced as a Sheep Fold by the DGHER MDG25437). Craigengillan Cain (SM2238) is depicted within the Site.

• Ordnance Survey - Kirkcudbrightshire Sheet VIII NW 1893 – no further features of archaeological interest are shown within the study area.

• Ordnance Survey - Kirkcudbrightshire Sheet VIII NW 1907 – no further features of archaeological interest are shown within the study area.

It is concluded that with the exception of large scale, commercial plantation forestry the land use and character of the area has changed little from 1804 to the present day and the wider study area remains a rural area characterised by isolated farmsteads, sheepfolds and rough pasture land.

3.4 Aerial Photography

Records held by the National Collection of Aerial Photography (NCAP) were consulted. No additional features of archaeological significance were identified. A full list of aerial photographic records consulted is presented in section 7.3.

3.5 Walkover Survey

A walkover survey was conducted on the 24th of October 2013. The weather was dry and visibility was good. The sites of any known archaeological features were visited and information from the Dumfries and Galloway HER and NMRS was confirmed. A general walkover of the Site study area was conducted to assess the site for any potentially undiscovered archaeological features. Three additional features were identified during this site walkover. These sites are detailed in Table 1.3, Appendix I of this report.

3.6 Statistical Accounts for Scotland

The study area is covered by the Parish of Dalry, Kirkcudbrightshire Statistical Account. The 1834-45 account reports that the parish is characterised by farmland, the River Ken and plantations of oak. Antiquities reported in the Statistical Accounts include Stroanfreggan Cairn (SM 1043) which is situated within Stroanfreggan Farm. The Statistical account also highlights two standing stones within close proximity of the cairn. No further details of antiquities within the statistical accounts can be attributed to the Site or wider study areas.

4 ARCHAEOLOGICAL AND HISTORICAL BACKGROUND

The data collection exercise has identified a total of 116 features within the wider study area, which extends up to 1 km from the Site boundary. These features include three Scheduled Monuments and two Listed Buildings.

Of the 116 features situated within the wider study area, 18of them are located within the Site. The following section gives a brief description of the wider study area's archaeological and historical sites within the context of the area's background history, presented by period.

The following section refers to the features detailed in Table 1.3, Appendix I and shown in Figure 2.

4.1 The Prehistoric Period

The HER and NMRS hold numerous records relating to finds and features with a confirmed prehistoric date. A number of these records relate to isolated Mesolithic findspots, usually flint scatters consisting of worked and waste flakes (MDG3956, MDG3927, MDG3932, MDG3953, MDG3962, NMRS64361, NMRS64344, MDG3935 and NMRS64362 ,). These flint scatters are often found as the result of mole activity or erosion scarring.

In addition to these isolated Mesolithic findspots there are numerous pre-historic cairns including the Scheduled Stroanfreggan Bridge Cairn (1043), a cairn situated at Smittons Bridge (MDG3937), Round Craigs a nationally important non-designated cairn (MDG3944) and the site of a former cairn at Furmiston (MDG3968 ) are all examples of Early Neolithic - Early Bronze Age cairns. A further cairn was also recorded on the first edition OS map at Muirdrochwood, however there is now no trace of the cairn due to ploughing and afforestation. Craigengillan Cairn (SM2238) is the only example of an Early Neolithic – early/Late Bronze Age cairn situated within the Site. This cairn is a substantial kerb cairn measuring approximately 3-4 m in height and 24 m across. The cairn is surrounded by plantation forestry and a sheep shelter is positioned on top of the cairn. The cairn was visited during the site walkover and was found to be in good condition (Plates 6-7).

The HER and NMRS also returned records of several potential prehistoric cairn groups. These include cairn groups at Round Craigs (MDG25732 and MDG3940 ), Marscalloch Hill

(MDG3936), Craigengillan (MDG3930) and Culmark Moss (MDG3943, NMRS 64353 and NMRS 64339 ). It is thought that the majority of these cairns are agricultural in nature. In addition to these clearance cairns there is extensive evidence of prehistoric agricultural activity at Glenhead Rig (MDG3915), where evidence of lynchets, a homestead, and a partly banked oval enclosure survive as well as at Smittons Bridge (MDG25737), where a small area of rig overlies a low-banked enclosure.

Finally the HER records a substantial prehistoric settlement at Stroanfreggan (MDG3931; Stroanfreggan Archaeologically sensitive area ) which includes clearance cairns and enclosures ( MDG3931 and MDG3940), Lithic Scatters (MDG3956), a kerb cairn at Smittons Bridge (MDG3937), Stroanfreggan Bridge Cairn (SM 1043) and Stroanfreggan Craig (SM 1095) an Iron Age fort.

4.2 Roman - Early Medieval Period

The HER returned no known records of features with a confirmed Roman or Early Medieval date.

4.3 Medieval Period

The HER returned eight records of features located within the wider study area with a potential medieval date. These records include farmsteads at Scalloch/Little Auchrae (MDG11404), Smittons (MDG3947) Bridgemark (MDG3949). Other medieval sites include ruined buildings at Glen (MDG12788) and evidence of buildings and rig and furrow at Marchhouse (MDG15834). Further evidence of agriculture includes two enclosures one at Moorbrock (MDG12790) one at Smittons (MDG3965). Further evidence of medieval settlement is located at Craigmitchel/Stonehouse (MDG3917). This settlement was deserted in the post-medieval period; however, evidence of earth and stone banked enclosures has survived and is visible in aerial photography.

4.4 Post-Medieval Period

The majority of features associated with this period are agricultural and include farmsteads ( MDG27061, MDG15819, MDG15820, MDG15823, MDG15847, MDG15852, MDG15861, MDG25436 and NMRS 177470), enclosures (MDG15827, MDG15828, MDG15832, MDG15866, MDG15867, MDG25733, MDG26152, MDG26171 and NMRS 64344 ), Field

systems (MDG15837, MDG15848, MDG15849, MDG15854 and MDG15863), a Hay Ree (MDG25355) and numerous sheepfolds (MDG15850, MDG15848, MDG15849, MDG15866, MDG15868, MDG25354, MDG25356, MDG25357, MDG25359, MDG25434, MDG25435, MDG25437, MDG25731, MDG25734, MDG25736, MDG25742, MDG26169, MDG26170, MDG26172, MDG26173, MDG26174, MDG26175, MDG26176 and MDG3918 ). Of these agricultural, post-medieval features, 23 are situated within the Site area. A number were identified on the ground the majority of which survive are sheepfolds (Plate 2, MDG25437 ). There was no evidence of former field systems within the site boundary.

In addition to the above sites the HER and NMRS returned records relating to bridges (LB3628, LB3627, MDG19687, and MDG19688 ), various single cell buildings annotated on 1st edition OS maps (MDG15824, MDG15826, MDG15835 and MDG15836 ), a kiln (MDG15831), a watermill (MDG23020) and a school (NMRS 64356). All of these features suggest an agrarian community stretched across a wide landscape.

4.5 Modern Era

The HER returned three single sites attributed a modern date. The first is a clearance cairn situated at Knockaughlie Hill (MDG15825), the second is a pump located at Bridgemark (MDG3950) and the third, a possible crash site of a Blenheim bomber. Despite this low return of records there are operational farmsteads which surround the site have modern elements and there are modern features related to the plantation forestry throughout the

area. None of these features are currently considered to be of any archaeological significance.

5 ARCHAEOLOGICAL AND HISTORICAL POTENTIAL

5.1 Overview

The following section summarises the potential for further sub surface archaeological remains to occur within the study area, outlines the potential threat from the Development to these remains, and suggests appropriate further work as well as potential mitigation strategies.

The data collection exercise has identified a total of 115 features within the wider study area, which extends up to 1 km from the Site boundary. These features include three Scheduled Monuments and two Listed Buildings.

5.3 Potential Impacts

Potential impacts from the Development fall into two categories, direct and indirect impacts.

Direct impacts are physical alterations which may affect either known sites or currently unknown buried or otherwise unrecorded archaeology. Direct or physical impacts may damage or destroy archaeological features and are usually permanent and irreversible. These effects are likely to occur during construction or decommissioning of a site. Direct effects are limited to the Development footprint (yet to be finalised) where associated earthmoving and excavation occur and not to the full extent of the Site within the redline boundary. Excavations for the turbine foundations are anticipated to reach a depth between 2-4 m. Excavation depths for cable runs and access tracks are anticipated to reach c. 500-

750 mm it is therefore unlikely that any archaeology situated at a depth of more than 1 m has the potential to receive a direct impact, other than at the turbine locations.

The Development has the potential to cause indirect effects, primarily visual, upon the settings of nationally important cultural heritage assets within and beyond the study areas of this DBA. Due to the height and visibility of the turbines it is considered that these indirect effects have the potential to be significant (i.e., they may have the potential to so alter the settings of some cultural heritage assets that the significance of these assets is changed or harmed). These effects will be assessed and reported in full within the Environmental Statement (ES).

5.4 Potential Mitigation

It is considered that preservation in-situ is the preferred method of mitigation for known archaeological remains. However, where this is not possible, or where there is a likelihood of encountering locally important unknown subsurface archaeological remains a programme of archaeological works leading to preservation by record is considered appropriate.

Due to there being low potential for further unknown archaeology within the Site it is proposed that should planning permission be granted, a watching brief during construction of the Development is undertaken. This would need to be agreed with the Dumfries and Galloway Archaeology Service.

6 CONCLUSION

The DBA has revealed that there is low potential for further, unknown, archaeological remains within the Site. The situation of the Site within plantation forestry largely accounts for the low return of known archaeological remains, with high levels of ground disturbance. Where records of known archaeological remains could be located on site survival was limited to post-medieval sites (usually sheepfolds), or to the Scheduled and protected Craigengillan Cairn (SM2238). New features considered to potentially be archaeological in nature were limited to the forestry ride immediately south-east of the cairn.

As the Development will be situated away from the Craigengillan Cairn and beyond its immediate vicinity, it is considered that any archaeological remains likely to be encountered will be post-medieval in date, related to agriculture and of local- regional significance. It is considered that there is limited potential for remains of a prehistoric or medieval date to survive within the Site.

In conclusion it is considered that any work undertaken on this site would have low potential to have a direct impact upon, previously undiscovered archaeological remains.

There is potential for indirect impacts to affect sites in the proposed Development site and within and beyond the wider study area. This will be fully investigated in the EIA, taking into account the way in which the proposed Development will affect the setting of significant sites.
