Watching Brief (6 July 2016)
NJ 6018 0499 A watching brief was carried out on 6 July 2016 during the replacement of an electricity pole W of Findrack House. The pole was located at the S end of a dry stone dyke which had been increased in size with field clearance on all sides.
The removal of the pole was followed by the removal of stones from the dyke by JCB and the excavation of a trench for the new pole. No archaeological finds or features were recorded. Two cairns recorded on the HER as NJ60SW0025 and a possible enclosure or remains of a cairn (NJ 60125 05025) (similar in description to NJ60SW0011 a ring enclosure or cremation cemetery recorded on the field to the W) were photographed.
