A single temporary meteorological mast was constructed at Knockendurrick Hill, Gatehouse of Fleet, Dumfries and Galloway. Due
to its location within a highly sensitive archaeological area,
archaeological monitoring was required during all works.
The work consisted of two parts: a walkover survey during which any
potential impact on the recorded monuments was assessed for the
construction of a meteorological mast. The second part was monitoring
the excavation of the anchor pits.
None of the recorded monuments within close proximity to the
meteorological mast were directly affected by its construction or by
vehicular access to the working area, and no new upstanding remains
were found within the development area. All ground breaking works
were observed and recorded and these produced no evidence of
archaeological deposits or finds.
