An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Rathmell Archaeology Ltd. A desk based assessment and walk over survey was conducted on behalf of Mark Hamilton Landscape Services to inform a proposed planting scheme at Marbrack, near Carsphairn, Dumfries and Galloway.

The desk based assessment identified eight sites within the assessment area. None were protected by designation as a Scheduled Monument protected under the terms of the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act 1979.

Eight historic environment sites were identified and considered within this report. These are: two enclosures with associated sheep folds, two possible turf-walled houses, two sheepfolds and two gravel pits. Based on the evidence gathered for this assessment positive management has been recommended to safeguard sites
