Approximately 4ha of magnetometer survey and three test areas of earth electrical resistance survey totalling approximately 0.5ha were undertaken on land at Auldton Mote, Mofat, Dumfries and Galloway prior to proposed residential development.
Series of features which almost certainly represent former water courses have been identified. Possible other soil-filled features, which could represent anthropogenic features, have also been identified, although the exact nature and origin of these remains uncertain. Weak anomalies which almost certainly reflect natural variation in the underlying soils and geology have also been detected. Former ploughing regimes and land drains have been detected.
