Archaeology Notes

NX68SW 108 centred 6000 8000

Extends onto map sheets NX57NE, and NX67NW.

For surge tower, tip and memorial stone (all probably associated with the Galloway Hydro-Electric Scheme) within the area of this extensive monument, see NX68SW 68.02, NX68SW 68.03 and NX68SW 212 respectively.

A field-system annotated 'Old Fences' is depicted on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Kirkcudbrightshire 1853, sheet 15), but it is not shown on the current edition of the OS 1:10000 map (1982).

Information from RCAHMS (AKK) 16 December 1999.
