During the report period the West of Scotland Archaeology Service dealt with 1484 new
casework items and carried out work on a further 271 casework items registered in previous
years. Altogether work was carried out on a total of 1755 separate casework items over theyear. 557 of the new work items were weekly lists of planning applications received from the
11 Councils, which were monitored in order to identify planning applications raisingarchaeological issues. 590 planning applications were identified as potentially requiringarchaeological advice, an increase of 28% on the previous year when only 460 applications
were so identified. An increase of 32% in the number of planning applications potentiallyrequiring archaeological advice had already been recorded in the previous year. Only one
Council, Renfrewshire, now does not provide grid references on their weekly lists, affecting
the efficiency of the weekly list monitoring. 239 of the identified 590 applications raisedarchaeological issues which required advice from the Service, an increase of 14% on theprevious year. The planning application workload continues to grow on an annual basis (seeSummary Table below).

There is an apparent decrease in the number of other items of work if compared with theworkload of the previous year when 519 items of other work were received (2000/01 figuresin brackets for comparison in table above). The biggest decrease is in the Other
Archaeological Consultations category and is entirely a factor of the operation of the digitalconsultations register which was only brought into full use in the Archaeology Service from
April 2000. It is not a real decrease in the workload. Statistics which would have appeared inthis category, now appear in the figure for work carried out on items registered in previous
years, which is 271 for 2001/02, whereas it had been only 66 in 2000/01.
The total number of separate casework items processed by the Service in 2001/02 at 1755
(1484 new casework items plus 271 old casework items) represents an increase of 13.5% in
overall caseload. The previous year's total had been 1545 casework items. The Service has
managed to sustain this caseload increase to date by improvements in its operational
methodologies, particularly development of digital systems, but there are serious doubts that it
can continue to accommodate any further increases in caseload with its existing staff

complement. The current level of workload is already badly affecting the Service's
performance in responding to consultations timeously.
During the report period 183 new records were added to the Sites and Monuments Record
database and 2318 existing records were amended. The number of records amended was aconsiderable decrease on the previous year when 7099 records were amended. This was theresult of a vacancy in the Sites and Monuments Record Officer post after October 2001.
The Service prepared 26 briefs or terms of reference to control developer fundedarchaeological work, 23 for the Councils in connection with evaluation prior to determinationof planning applications, or for discharge of conditions on planning consents, and 3 for Westof Scotland Water. Some of these briefs originated from planning applications or
consultations considered first in previous years.

Running the Service

1.1

During the report period a draft Planning Service Level Agreement was drawn up andinitially considered for ratification in the following report period. The Service Level
Agreement sets out the work items covered by the Archaeology Service for theCouncils. Any casework falling outside the terms of the agreement is subject tocharging. It also sets out the parameters of the performance to be achieved by theService in dealing with the planning and archaeology remit for the Councils. The
Service Level Agreement is intended to provide certainty for the Councils about thelevel of service they can expect, but it is also designed to protect the Service staff fromunreasonable demands, in view of the existing workload problem which is affecting
performance in responding to consultations. The Service's performance statistics areappended for information at the end of the report. These are exchanged on a regularbasis with the West Yorkshire Archaeology Service for comparative purposes.

1.2

The Service's Steering Group met twice throughout the year at a senior level toconsider items such as the draft Service Level Agreement and the budget. There was asingle Committee meeting in October 2001, although there had also been a Committeesite visit to the Braehead excavation earlier in the summer.

1.3

The Sites and Monuments Record officer, Crispin Flower, left the Service in October
2001 to take up another post. It was decided not to fill his post immediately to ease theService's budget problems. The post was subsequently filled on a three year temporary
basis after the end of the report period.

1.4

The Service's budget was in surplus at the end of the report period (see table at end ofreport). The difference in the estimate surplus brought forward from 2000/01 and theactual amount arises from an internal audit of the Service's accounts for financial years
1999/2000 and 2000/2001 which uncovered a number of discrepancies between theaccounts which had been submitted to Committee and the actual ledger amounts
recorded on the Glasgow City Council financial system. The true accounts for
1999/2000 and 2000/2001 are now available. The negative discrepancies were largely
the result of minor adjustments in National Insurance/Superannuation payments,
unnoted mileage payments to staff, and some unnoted payments to temporary staff.
The internal audit also uncovered a sum of money amounting to £3809 which had
been deducted from the Service's accounts in error and which has been repaid in
financial year 2002/2003. The Service's accounts are now held separately from thoseof the City Council (set up in financial year 2001/02) and the manager has more
confidence that the actual income and expenditure of the Service is now being
properly tracked.

Sites and Monuments Record Maintenance and Development
2.1

Sites and Monuments Record maintenance and development was disrupted by thedeparture of the Sites and Monuments Record Officer in October 2001. Nonetheless
183 new records were added to the Sites and Monuments Record database and 2318
existing records were amended. Some of this work was done by the casework officers
as well as the Sites and Monuments Record Officer before his departure. The

casework officers continued to amend records as far as was practicable after the
departure of the Sites and Monuments Record Officer.
2.2

The West of Scotland Sites and Monuments Record was entered into the Scottish
Awards for quality in planning and was awarded a commendation for Outstanding
Performance and Quality in Development Control at a ceremony in Edinburgh in
February 2002. The award was received on behalf of the Joint Committee byCouncillor Petrie of Argyll & Bute Council, Vice Convenor of the Committee.

Advice to Argyll & Bute Council

3.1

Development Plan Advice
No development plan advice was sought by the Council during the report period.

3.2

3.3

Development Control Advice
Over the report period 50 weekly lists were monitored for the Council and 127 newplanning applications were identified as raising potential archaeological issues, either
by the Archaeology Service or by Council staff. In addition further advice wasprovided in respect of 28 planning applications submitted in previous years. Argyll &Bute Council remained the largest Council user of the development control advice
service over the report period.
The 127 new planning applications received the following responses from the Service
in terms of the advice contained in National Planning Policy Guideline 5 and Planning
Advice Note 42:
Refusal of planning application recommended1
Archaeological assessment or evaluation prior to determination required 3

Altogether 45 of the identified planning applications required some form of responseto mitigate the effects of the proposals on archaeological remains. During the period
the Archaeology Service prepared 2 briefs or terms of reference to aid theimplementation by developers of archaeological conditions attached to planning
consents by the Council.

3.4

Refusal of the planning application was recommended in the case of a proposed houseat the Long Walk, Killinochonoch, Kilmartin Glen. The Glen is one of the mostsensitive archaeological areas of Argyll containing a large number of scheduled andunscheduled archaeological sites, much visited by tourists. The Service wasprincipally concerned about the effects the proposed house might have on the settingof the complex of archaeological sites at Ballymeanoch. After lengthy discussions anda search for alternative sites, planning consent was eventually granted, but with thehouse to be built on a different footprint and carefully screened. Archaeological

investigation before the commencement of development demonstrated that the site of
the new house was not itself archaeologically sensitive.
3.5

The Service continued to monitor the post-excavation analysis of the archaeologicalinvestigations at Kilmartin Quarry which are now almost complete to publication draft
stage. Towards the end of the report period articles about the finds at the Quarry,
produced by the archaeological contractor, began to appear in the archaeological press.

3.6

There continues to be a requirement for archaeological investigation in connection
with proposed wind farm developments in Argyll. Archaeological assessments usuallyform part of the Environmental Statements for the proposals and thereafter, if consent
is granted, there is usually a requirement for archaeological conditions to be attached.
With the continued growth in wind farm applications, there is likely to be an increased
need for the Service to comment on archaeological assessments and to monitor the
implementation of archaeological conditions across the area which it covers, including
Argyll and Bute. During the report period the Service provided comments and advice
in connection with 4 wind farm proposals in Argyll - Deucheran Hill, Tangy, An
Suidhe at Dalmally, and Cruach Mhor in Glendaruel.

3.6

Other Advice within the Council's Area
During the report period advice was provided to a variety of clients, including Council
staff, in respect of 102 other items of casework.

3.7

The Service continues to receive requests for advice and assistance from local
archaeological societies, members of the public and the Kilmartin House Trust. During
the report period, at the request of the Lorn Archaeological Society, the Service
assessed a shell midden found near Loch Feochan during the building of a small shedby a householder. The midden is in front of a small cave in a relict sea cliff and isevidence of prehistoric occupation of the cave. The Service also responded to a reportfrom members of the public via Kilmartin House Trust about a new road formation
potentially affecting a prehistoric carved rock. In the event the road was being
constructed as a permitted development (agricultural access) and the Council was
unable to intervene.

Advice to East Ayrshire Council

4.1

Development Plan Advice
No development plan advice was sought by the Council during the report period.

4.2

4.3

Development Control Advice
Over the report period 52 weekly lists were monitored and 56 new planningapplications were identified as raising potential archaeological issues, either by theArchaeology Service or by Council staff. In addition further advice was provided in
respect of 14 planning applications submitted in previous years.
The 56 new planning applications received the following responses from the Service

Altogether 27 of the identified planning applications required some form of responseto mitigate the effects of the proposals on archaeological remains. During the period
the Archaeology Service prepared 2 briefs or terms of reference to aid theimplementation by developers of archaeological conditions attached to planning
consents by the Council.
4.3

The Service recommended refusal of the application for change of use of Rowallan
Castle near Kilmaurs. The castle is a scheduled ancient monument and a property inthe care of the Scottish Ministers. The Service considered that the proposal to change
its use to an annex to a hotel was contrary to policy and would have a serious impact
on the fabric of the building. The proposal was later the subject of a Public Inquiry
which has yet to report. The Service did not take part in the Inquiry.

4.4

Archaeological investigation began in respect of the proposed redevelopment of the
Rex Cinema site in Newmilns, which had been secured by conditions on planning
consents for the proposals. In the event it was found that the construction of thecinema had removed any earlier archaeological deposits across much of the site, butdemolition on the Main Street frontage afforded the opportunity of recording the"ghost" of the previous building which had existed on the frontage before the cinema
was built in the 1930s. Architectural features were noted in the gable of the adjacentbuilding dating back to the 17th century. Further work after the end of the report periodon the Castle Street frontage of the development recovered a fragment of an 18th
century wine bottle belonging to the Earl of Eglinton. It remains to be discovered whysuch a piece of glass should be present in Newmilns. Further archaeologicalinvestigation of Newmilns as refurbishment of the town centre continues, will
hopefully reveal more evidence for the town's medieval, and immediately postmedieval, history.

4.5

The Service responded to a consultation from the Council on the Whitlees Wind Farm
application which straddles three Council areas (East Ayrshire, East Renfrewshire andSouth Lanarkshire). The proposed development will require the submission, approval,
and implementation of a substantial archaeological mitigation strategy, should it
receive planning consent. The proposal raises significant setting issues for the settingof the Loch Goin Covenanters Monument in East Ayrshire, and for the Dunwan
prehistoric hillfort in East Renfrewshire.

4.6

4.7

Other Advice within the Council's Area
During the report period advice was provided to a variety of clients, including Council
staff, in respect of 33 other items of casework.
The Service continues to respond to queries from members of the public as required.
Not all such requests originate in the Council's area. One arrived by e-mail from SouthThe Archaeology Service of the Councils of Argyll & Bute, East Ayrshire, East Renfrewshire, Glasgow City, Inverclyde, North
Ayrshire, North Lanarkshire, Renfrewshire, South Ayrshire, South Lanarkshire and West Dunbartonshire.

Advice to East Renfrewshire Council

5.1

Development Plan Advice
One consultation was received from the Council regarding a "tower" in an urban
expansion area in the finalised Local Plan.

5.2

5.3

Development Control Advice
Over the report period 52 weekly lists were monitored and 30 new planningapplications were identified as raising potential archaeological issues, either by theArchaeology Service or by Council staff.
The 30 new planning applications received the following responses from the Service
in terms of the advice contained in National Planning Policy Guideline 5 and Planning

5.5

5.6

A recommendation of refusal was made in the case of the proposed erection of a 50m
high wind monitoring mast near Dunwan Hill in connection with the proposed
Whitelees wind farm. The reason for the recommendation was the potential effects on
the setting of the unscheduled archaeological site at Dunwan Hill. The application waswithdrawn and a new application submitted for a site much further away from thehillfort on an adjacent hill. However the wind farm proposals involve a number ofturbines around the hillfort site, raising substantial setting issues.
Other Advice within the Council's Area
During the report period advice was provided to a variety of clients, including Council
staff, in respect of 11 other items of casework.
The Service continued to provided advice and assistance on a charging basis to the
ASH Consulting Group who are the agents for East Renfrewshire and South
Lanarkshire Councils in respect of the development of the Glasgow Southern Orbitalroad. During the report period archaeological evaluation of the road route by trial
trenching took place. This discovered a major archaeological site in the road corridor,

a palisaded settlement of probable Iron Age date near Mearnskirk Hospital. Full
excavation of the settlement took place after the end of the report period, as the site
could not be preserved within the road corridor. Post-excavation analysis will provide
radiocarbon dates for the settlement. There will also be an archaeological watchingbrief on the topsoil strip for the road at the Newton Mearns end, because of thepossibility of there being further archaeological sites and deposits which were notpicked up during the sample evaluation. The need for this was reinforced by the recent
discovery near Newton Mearns of the remains of prehistoric roundhouses within thenorthern end of the route corridor for the M77 (managed by Historic Scotland for thetrunk roads authority). These discoveries indicate that this part of East Renfrewshire
has more archaeological potential than was previously though to be the case, raising
issues in respect of further greenfield development in the area.

Advice to Glasgow City Council

6.1

Development Plan Advice
No development plan advice was sought by the Council during the report period.

6.2

6.3

Development Control Advice
Over the report period 48 weekly lists were monitored and 37 new planningapplications were identified as raising potential archaeological issues, either by theArchaeology Service or by Council staff. In addition further advice was provided in
respect of 4 planning applications submitted in previous years.
The 37 new planning applications received the following responses from the Service
in terms of the advice contained in National Planning Policy Guideline 5 and Planning

6.4

Archaeological excavation of the ditched, prehistoric settlement at Braehead wascompleted in the summer of 2001. The excavation was visited by the Archaeology
Service Joint Committee and by the Ancient Monuments Board for Scotland, amongst
many others. Post-excavation analysis has been delayed for reasons which are notclear, as a timescale for the completion of the post-excavation analysis was approved
as part of the planning consent for the excavation. A variation to this timescale is now
required, but has been complicated by the transfer of the parcel of land whichcontained the archaeological site to the area of Renfrewshire Council, along with theplanning powers. The Service will continue to monitor the situation to ensure that the

post-excavation analysis and publication of this important prehistoric site takes place.
There will be no dates for the site until such time as the post-excavation analysis iscompleted, as the finds which were made during the course of the excavation are notparticularly diagnostic in terms of date.

6.5

Other Advice within the Council's Area
During the report period advice was provided to a variety of clients, including Council
staff, in respect of 29 other items of casework.

6.6

The Service provided details comments on the possible marketing by the City Councilof the area to the east of Water Row, Govan. This area is of major archaeologicalsignificance, and is thought to have been the site of a high status settlement associatedwith the early church at Govan, dating back to the period pre-1000AD. There arerecords of a large mound in the area called Doomster Hill, which has now beentruncated but which would appear to have been surrounded by a massive ditch, likely
still to contain archaeological deposits buried at depth. This site, with the adjacent
Govan churchyard and its carved stones are a major archaeological resource for thecity, likely to contain evidence for the British Kingdom of Strathclyde, before it wasabsorbed into the Scottish Kingdom in the so called Dark Ages. Any proposed
redevelopment of the area will raise a significant archaeological issue, but the area
should also be seen in more positive terms, as an asset for the city which could be
exploited further.

Advice to Inverclyde Council

7.1

Development Plan Advice
No development plan advice was sought by the Council during the report period.

7.2

Development Control Advice
Over the report period 47 weekly lists were monitored and 3 new planningapplications were identified as raising potential archaeological issues by theArchaeology Service. In addition further advice was provided in respect of 1 planningapplications submitted in previous years.

7.3

The 3 planning applications identified by the Service as potentially raisingarchaeological issues, were not received by the Archaeology Service from the Council
for comment. Subsequent investigation revealed that the Council has no record ofreceiving from the Archaeology Service the written consultation requests for theapplications, which had been sent out on the same day, possibly in the one mailing.
The cause of the disappearance of the mail has not been established, but this seems tohave been an unfortunate, isolated incident, and normal contact between the Service
and the Council planning department has resumed in this financial year.

7.4

During the period the Archaeology Service prepared 1 brief or terms of reference toaid the implementation by developers of archaeological conditions attached to aplanning consent granted in a previous year.

Other Advice within the Council's Area
During the report period advice was provided to a variety of clients, including Council
staff, in respect of 7 other items of casework. There were enquiries re theredevelopment of Greenock Harbour, the proposed development of a site in
Kilmacolm, the discovery of a well and a carved stone at Port Glasgow Station by amember of the public, and the Kilmacolm Hydropathic Hospital by an enquirer
researching an ancestor who had lived there in the 1930s. The well at Port Glasgow
Station appears to have been dedicated to a former station master and is called Hood's
Well. There was no previous information about this site in the Sites and Monuments
Record.
Advice to North Ayrshire Council
Development Plan Advice
During the report period comments were provided on the North Ayrshire (excluding
Arran) Replacement Local Plan Consultative Draft and the Isle of Arran Replacement
Local Plan Consultative Draft.
Development Control Advice
Over the report period 52 weekly lists were monitored and 52 new planningapplications were identified as raising potential archaeological issues, either by theArchaeology Service or by Council staff. In addition further advice was provided in
respect of 14 planning applications submitted in previous years.
The 52 identified planning applications received the following responses from theService in terms of the advice contained in National Planning Policy Guideline 5 andPlanning Advice Note 42:

8.4

Evaluation took place at Southannan House near Fairlie prior to its proposed
conversion to flats, and the proposed building of houses in its grounds. Various tracesof early archaeological remains were found in discrete areas requiring further
archaeological work prior to the commencement of development, although it is thedeveloper's intention to try to keep ground disturbance to a minimum to avoid
damaging archaeological deposits.

8.6

A potential archaeological issue was raised in respect of the rehabilitation of properties
in Beith town centre supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund. The Fund normally
expects archaeological issues, raised by developments which it funds, to be covered
and indeed provides separate grant aid for this purpose. It has been agreed that thenecessary archaeological work will take the form of a complex archaeologcial
watching brief during the development. Little is known about the history of Beith but
there is an early church in the town centre, for which a minister is on record in 1573
although the church is probably older than that. The proposed development isimmediately adjacent to the church and burial ground, thereby raising the possibilityof encountering remains of an early settlement at Beith, or even of disturbing earlyburials associated with the church.
Other Advice
During the report period advice was provided to a variety of clients, including Council

Evaluation by trial trenching in advance of the proposed development of houses on asite adjacent to the Carrickstone at Cumbernauld, did not identify any archaeologicalremains associated with the stone. The stone, which is a scheduled ancient monument,
is a Roman altar stone which would originally have been associated with a Roman
temple, probably connected with the nearby Antonine Wall and its forts. The
evaluation took place to establish whether the stone was still in situ with associatedremains, or whether it had been moved. The lack of associated archaeological deposits
implies that the stone is not in its original location, which may have been further north
towards the Wall, although this may never be finally proved, as the stone is now
surrounded by recent developments on all sides. The evaluation in advance of the
proposed housing was the last opportunity to test the hypothesis that the stone had
been relocated. The stone is now in a very prominent location and could have been
moved many centuries ago. It has associations with Robert the Bruce who is supposed
to have planted his battle standard in a hole in the stone before the Battle of
Bannockburn. The potential location of the Roman temple has not been identified.

monument, identified no associated archaeological remains on the south-east side of
the fort. It is highly likely that the fort, in common with most Roman forts, would have
had annexes and a possible civilian settlement. The evaluation has established thatthese were not located on the south-east side of the fort, but they remain a possibility
on other sides. The area protected by scheduling does not necessarily include all of thepossible archaeological remains in the area.

Other Advice within the Council's Area
During the report period advice was provided to a variety of clients, including Council
staff, in respect of 6 other items of casework.

10.6

The Service provided archaeological advice re the potential redevelopment ofJohnstone Castle for residential purposes. The Castle is owned by the Council and isbeing marketed. The Castle stands within an area already fully developed for housing
and is in a poor condition. It dates to at least the 16th century. Any redevelopment
proposals will raise issues in respect of the standing archaeology in the fabric of thebuilding and in respect of internal and external archaeological deposits.

10.7

The Service was asked to suggest possible names for a proposed housing development
at West Brae, Paisley by the architect after its involvement in requestingarchaeological evaluation prior to the proposed development. The housing site is
located on the end of the ridge at Oakshaw where a prehistoric fortified site is thought
to have existed before the John Neilson Institute was built. The Service provided a
copy of the Sites and Monuments Record which contained a number of possibilities
for naming the development. The evaluation to establish the presence or absence of thefort on the ridge has yet to take place.

11.4

Refusal of planning consent was recommended in respect of a planning application forthe conversion of Baltersan Castle near Crossraguel Abbey, Maybole, to time shareresidential use. The application was for a renewal of consent. The Service had also
recommended refusal of the previous application in 1997.

11.5

Evaluation by trial trenching in green fields at Alloway on the south side of Ayr, inadvance of a proposed housing development, produced evidence of a previously
unknown prehistoric settlement, consisting of a round house and an enclosure, whichmay, or may not have been, associated with it. As the two features were discrete anddid not cut each other, there is no way of being certain of their relationship, unlessdating by radiocarbon can demonstrate a connection. Post excavation analysis has yet
to take place in respect of this excavation.

11.6

Implementation of a negative suspensive condition requiring archaeological work at
Main Street, Newton of Ayr, in advance of construction of a flatted development, has
thrown light on an archaeological problem. Main Street, because of its name, wasalways thought to have been the principal street of Newton of Ayr, which wascontemporary with medieval Ayr, but which did not prosper as well because of thepower exercised by its wealthy neighbour. However Main Street does not line up with
the Auld Brig over the River Ayr, whereas Allison Street does. Excavations on the plotin Main Street, which found burgage boundaries, including the rear boundary adjacentto the sea, have shown that Allison Street is far more likely to have been the principal,
and possibly the only, street in Newton of Ayr. It is likely that the settlement originallydeveloped around the castle on that side of the Ayr, all traces of which are now hidden
completely beneath modern development.

Other Advice in the Council's Area
During the report period advice was provided to a variety of clients, including Council
staff, in respect of 17 other items of casework.
The manager of the Service gave a lecture in October 2001 to the Ayrshire
Archaeological and Natural History Society entitled "Eight Years of Developer
Funded Archaeology in Ayrshire - What Have We Learned?" The lecture was attended
by more than 100 members of the public and there were much interest in the topic andmany questions after the lecture. There continues to be active interest from South
Ayrshire constituents in archaeological matters, including the reporting of new
discoveries to the Archaeology Service. During the report period the Service wascalled to give advice at two new discoveries, cobbling found in a garden at Eglington
Terrace, Ayr, within the area of the Cromwellian Fort, and cellars found at the

12.4

Major excavations took place in Rutherglen on the site of the Town Hall which is
being partially rebuilt and refurbished. The Town Hall is located adjacent to the Parish
Church within Main Street, which was the principal street of medieval Rutherglen.
There was considerable local press interest in the excavations, which were also visitedby the leader of South Lanarkshire Council just after the end of the report period. The
excavations recovered evidence for medieval Rutherglen, the first substantial
archaeological evidence which has been found, as there have been few opportunities
for archaeological investigation in the town. In particular large amounts of 14th century
pottery fragments were found from earthenware cooking pots, storage jars, jugs andbowls. Once post-excavation analysis is completed, the Council's Musuems Service
hopes to mount a display of the excavation finds within the refurbished Town Hallwith information on the light which they throw on the history of Rutherglen.

12.5

Further archaeological excavations in High Street, Lanark, in advance of development,
have failed to produce further evidence of medieval Lanark, although evaluation at
Northfaulds to the immediate east of the town produced some evidence of prehistoric

burial activity. The Service continues to monitor development proposals in Lanark
closely, as it is likely that parts of the town will have well preserved archaeologicaldeposits which have not been damaged by later development.
Substantial assistance was provided to Council planning staff in respect of a public
enquiry at East Kilbride which involved an archaeological issue amongst several
others. A well preserved lime kiln was present on site, which the developer was
finding difficult to preserve in situ whilst accommodating all aspects of his proposeddevelopment and the existing Tree Preservation Order. In the event the issue was
finally resolved and agreement reached that the lime kiln would be preserved, without
the Service needing to field a witness for the Public Inquiry, although a precognition
had been prepared.
Other Advice within the Council's Area
During the report period advice was provided to a variety of clients, including Council
staff, in respect of 45 other items of casework.

The Service continues to receive large numbers of electricity line refurbishments forcomment from a private firm acting for ScottishPower in the Council's area.
Responses to these are subject to the Service's fee charging policy. The private firm
only seems to operate within South Lanarkshire and the Service does not routinely
receive consultations for other parts of ScottishPower's area of operations.

The Council sought further advice from the Service about Gavinburn Bus Depot, Old
Kilpatrick, in relation to development plan policy. The Bus Depot sits on part of the
Roman fort at the western end of the Antonine Wall, which is known to be wellpreserved under the bus garage.

Whereas in previous annual reports attention has been drawn to the fact that the mainarchaeological issues within West Dunbartonshire arise from the unscheduled part of
the Antonine Wall, this proved not to be the case in this report period. Instead the main
issues arose within Dumbarton, which has a medieval core, and the area immediately
across the Leven from it, which may have been a medieval suburb at the end of thebridge. So far little archaeological evidence has been found in watching briefs, but
further planned development along the High Street may produce better results. A
previous excavation in the High Street demonstrated that there is a high potential forthe survival of medieval archaeological deposits in Dumbarton.
Other Advice within the Council's Area
During the report period advice was provided to a variety of clients, including Council
staff, in respect of 13 other items of casework.

13.6

The Service was alerted to the condition of the engine house of the Duntocher Cotton
Mill by the Clydebank History Society. The Society was concerned that the engine
house might need to be demolished because of its dangerous condition adjacent to awalkway being developed by West Dunbartonshire Greenspace Action. The Society
wishes the engine house to be preserved. A member of the Service visited the site toassess the engine house, and advised the Council that the site should be preserved if
possible, but if this is not feasible, then making safe the dangerous part will notseriously affect interpretation of the remains in general. There seemed to be no need todemolish the whole site.

14

Advice to the West of Scotland Water Authority

14.1

There were 25 requests for assistance from the Water Authority over the year. The
Service continued to provide detailed monitoring of WOSW proposals, meetings anddiscussions as required, applications for scheduled monument consent to Historic
Scotland, terms of reference and briefs (3 in the report period), and monitoring ofarchaeological contractors in the field. It was reported last year that work for WOSW
appeared to be beginning to tail off. This is still the case. A reduction in the amount ofwork for the Water Authority could have implications for the future income to theService from this source. The Service provides an annual summary to WOSW of thework done for the authority and articles for publication in the authority's annual
Environmental Review and there continues to be a good working relationship with
Water Authority staff. The effects of the changeover to a single Water Authority (on 1
April 2002) are not yet known.

14.2

A major archaeological discovery was made during the report period in the pipeline
corridor for the Maidens Sewerage Scheme (between Maidens and Girvan). The
discovery was a very large, well preserved, Bronze Age burial cairn filling the wholeof the stripped pipe corridor (upwards of 30m in diameter). The cairn was completely
invisible beneath the deep topsoil of the potato fields on the raised beach and had
hardly been truncated by ploughing. It still had a depth of 1.5 metres of cairn material
above the old ground surface. It is possible that it had been protected by theimportation of topsoil to improve the fields, or by solifluction from higher ground to
the east. It proved impossible to lay the pipe beneath the cairn by tunnelling, or todeviate the pipe because of the cairn's size and the fact that it also partially underlies

the A77. There was no option therefore other than to excavate the pipe trench underarchaeological conditions. The cairn proved to be multi-period and, although at least adozen burials were recovered from the narrow pipe trench, there were also very many
traces of cremation deposits which could not easily be recovered or counted. The cairn
appears to have been used repeatedly for both inhumed and cremated burials over alengthy period. Funds for post-excavation analysis have now been agreed by Scottish
Water and the report of the excavation is expected to provide important information
about Bronze Age burial practices not only in Ayrshire, but also in the whole of southwest Scotland, and possibly also in nearby Ireland.
15

Agri-Environment Audits

15.1

Archaeological audits were supplied on an hourly charging basis to agriculturaladvisers for 88 agri-environment scheme applications. The sum of £6110 was received
from Historic Scotland to help cover the costs of providing the audits, mainly fornecessary Sites and Monuments Record work to allow audits to be efficiently
prepared, but it also covers requests from agricultural advisers for on-sitearchaeological management advice. Such requests have been few in number in thepast, but the Service hopes to increase its contacts in the field with the agriculturaladvisers, using the Historic Scotland funding for this purpose.

16

Public and Professional Relations

16.1

The Service provided two public lectures at the request of local archaeological,
historical, or civic societies during the report period, one to the Avondale Civic
Society in South Lanarkshire on "Archaeology in Avondale" and one to the Ayrshire
Archaeological and Natural History Society on "Eight Years of Developer FundedArchaeology in Ayrshire: What Have We Learned?"

16.2

The Service continued to respond to some requests to take part in professionalseminars but was very selective in its acceptance of such invitations because of thetime required to prepare for such seminars and also to attend them whilst the Service
remains under severe caseload pressure. This also applies to requests for public
lectures, far fewer of which have been offered than in previous years. This is expected
to continue to be the case in future, until such time as more staff are available to coveradequately all of the demands made of the Service.

16.3

There was no annual conference of developer funded work during the report period.
The Service normally seeks to hold such a conference each year, but the departure of
the Sites and Monuments Record Officer meant that there was no-one with time toorganise it. Instead the annual conference, entitled Archaeological Research in
Progress, which is jointly hosted by the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland and theCouncil for Scottish Archaeology, took place in Glasgow after the end of the reportperiod, at which many of the speakers reported on developer funded work which had
been initiated by the Service. The Service manager also spoke at the conference. Thisis the first time the conference has come to Glasgow, but it may be some time before it
returns as it normally goes to a different Scottish venue each year. A decision has notbeen taken on whether the annual West of Scotland Archaeology Forum should be
