Archaeological Evaluation (26 April 2021 - 12 May 2021)

NT 1468 3877 An assessment of the historic environment was undertaken in Spring 2021 as part of proposed forestry on parts of Stobo Estate. The assessment area covered 1093ha within which 153 sites related to the historic environment were recorded through desk-based research and field survey. These included evidence of both prehistoric and more recent settlement and farming practices, prehistoric funerary remains, historic estate activities and parts of an 18th- to early 20th-century designed landscape. Five designated sites were present within the assessment area. These comprised one Garden and Designed Landscape: Stobo Castle (GDL349; Canmore ID: 344397) and four Scheduled Monuments: the Pyked Stane cairn (SM2938; Canmore ID: 50106), Clashpock Rig homestead (SM3217; Canmore ID: 50090), Hammer Knowe fort (SM3094; Canmore ID: 49843) and Huskie Rig funerary remains (SM2778; Canmore ID: 49832).
