Field Visit (July 2016)
NS 72061 06695 and NS 71976 06627 A walkover survey was carried out, July 2016, at Glenglass to the SW of Sanquhar at the location of a proposed substation in order to record a sheep shelter, now visible after tree felling operations. The T-shaped sheep shelter was discovered in good condition at the location recorded on the 1st Edition OS map of 1859. An extant circular dry stone sheepfold was recorded to its W, which was also shown on the 1859 map.

Watching Brief (July 2020 - May 2021)
NS 7200 0659 to NS 7825 0457 A watching brief was carried out, between July 2020 and May 2021, during ground works for the Twentyshilling Hill Alternative Grid Connection Corridor. The works consisted of the archaeological monitoring of topsoil stripping and test-pitting and the fencing-off of known archaeological features that lay in close proximity to construction areas. In total, 213,800m2 of topsoil stripping was monitored. The works uncovered a prehistoric burial pit with possible Late Bronze Age urns inside a ring ditch, three pits containing sherds of possible prehistoric pottery, three linear features associated with a drove road, eight dry stone building remains or cairns, an upstanding stone, and a plough scar.
