Trial Trench (June 2008 - March 2011)
NO 119 132 A programme of archaeological work was undertaken June 2008–March 2011 at Lochelbank Wind Farm. In 2008 two trial trenches were excavated across the line of the Wallace Road. The sections showed that the road had had been upgraded using modern hardcore. The absence of any evidence of an original surface suggested that it had never been more than a beaten earth track. In 2011 a 10m buffer zone was created around the scheduled ancient monument of Cairn Geddes. A post-felling walkover survey in Hill Wood to the W of Lochelbank Hill identified the remains of a known quarry. The locations of previously identified kaleyards and clearance cairns were visited but no remains were identified. A trackway known as Cadger Road possibly follows the route of an existing forestry access track running through the plantation.
