A desk-based assessment and walkover survey of a proposed woodland planting scheme was carried out at Hopecarton Burn, in June 2019. A total of 20 sites were assessed in the field. Eleven sites consisted of the foundations of two possibly late-medieval stone and turf built settlements, two cairns, three stone enclosures, a cairn and cist, a quarry scoop or platform, a possible shieling, and a modern cairn and hide. Mitigation measures have been recommended for the sites likely to be affected by the scheme.
