HAGSHAW HILL WIND FARM ii APPENDIX 10.2 REPOWERING Appendix 10.2 Cultural Heritage Gazetteer Introduction The Cultural Heritage Gazetteer constitutes a list of all the heritage assets identified during the assessment. It is split into three tables, each corresponding with the study areas identified during the Cultural Heritage Chapter of the EIA Report: . Table 1: The Inner Study Area; . Table 2: The Middle Study Area; and . Table 3: The Outer Study Area The Gazetteer should be used to provide additional information to the Cultural Heritage Chapter of the EIA Report and Appendix 10.1, the Baseline Assessment and should be read in conjunction with Figures 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3. In Table 1, question marks appear in parenthesis (?). This has two meanings: . They are used when sites are newly recorded during the Baseline Assessment and the names for the site are suggested based on nearest topographical features; and . They are used after asset descriptions where the site is newly discovered and the ‘type’ is based on professional judgement and is not definitive. HAGSHAW HILL WIND FARM 1 APPENDIX 10.2 REPOWERING Table 1 – Sites within the Inner Study Area Asset ID Site name Type Category X Y Located Ref Designation Sensitivity Description Within the site boundary HH01 Common Hill / Shieling Huts Archaeological 279673, 630205, NRHE, ID45567 N/A Low A group of at least five collapsed, turf-built shielings and associated field banks. The five shielings are Hagshaw Hill Remains 279699, 630190, SMR SMR9683 recorded as follows: 279773, 630134, HH01.A - Irregular mound c.6m diameter and over 1m high. (NS79673 30205) 279702, 630150, HH01.B - More complex structure, but not very clear. 7m diameter by c.0.40m high. (NS 79699 30190) 279681 630145 HH01.C - Rectangular mound, c0.80m high, 3.50m wide and 6m long. (NS 79773 30134) HH01.D - Rectangular mound with dipped interior. Measures 8m long by 4m wide with height of c.0.20m. (NS 79702 30150) HH01.E - Low rectangle with dipped interior. Measures 7m long by 4m wide, with height of 0.30m. (NS 79681 30145) Located during walkover survey. HH02 Smithy Burn / Enclosure Archaeological 279020 629930 NRHE, ID89298 N/A Low Very overgrown circular enclosure, probably a disused sheepfold c.13m in diameter, with banks c.0.30m Hagshaw Hill Remains SMR SMR15772 high and up to 1m wide. Faint traces of a rectilinear enclosure around the circular enclosure? Located during walkover survey. HH03 Broomerside / High Settlement, Archaeological 279410 629620 SMR SMR67315 N/A Low A small settlement or steading represented by three buildings and two enclosures is shown at or near Broomerside Farmstead, Remains this location on General Roy's Military Survey of 1747-55. Although the site is not directly named by Fermtoun Roy's surveyors, the map shows another small settlement to the S, and both settlements appear to be associated with the name "Broomerside" which is placed between them on the map, and may refer to the lands occupied and farmed by the inhabitants of both building complexes. The presently ruinous farm of High Broomerside is shown at this location on the mid-nineteenth century and later Ordnance Survey maps. On the 1st Edition O.S. map, there appears to be one roofed building, a two-celled 18m x 6.5m structure aligned approximately N-S. What may have been an E-W aligned range of small, interlinked enclosures adjoins the roofed building at its N end, and maybe stock enclosures. These structures sit at the NE corner of a roughly rectangular enclosure measuring c. 42m E-W and c. 38m N-S. A well is shown at NS 79392 29615, immediately to the W of a burn or small watercourse running through the W side of the enclosure. By the time of the 2nd Edition O.S. map of around 1900, the well is no longer marked, and a larger trezoidal enclosure measuring approximately 100m N-S and c. 92m E-W at its N end and c.63m wide at its S adjoins the structural complex. On this map, a 9m diameter circular enclosure at NS 79555 29780 is marked as "Old Sheep Ree", although it is shown on the earlier 1st Edition map, it is not so named. This would seem to imply that the steading shown on the O.S. 1st Edition and subsequent maps is a sheep farm, which supplanted the two settlements shown on Roy's map, and which itself undergoes modification of its stock-handling provisions and enclosures in the later 19th century. Degraded farmstead of cement bonded faced rubble with dressed quoins, brick and concrete lintels. Located during walkover survey. HH04 Windrow Burn / Enclosure, Field Archaeological 280000 630050 NRHE, ID89297 N/A Low Heavily degraded, low, sub-circular earthen enclosure on N bank of Windrow Burn. Measures c.19m N-S Hagshaw Hill Bank, Shieling Remains SMR SMR15771 by 10m W-E. Ephemeral linear bank noted immediately N, running W-E. Visible on modern OS maps and located during walkover survey.

Furrow, Shieling Huts HAGSHAW HILL WIND FARM 2 APPENDIX 10.2 REPOWERING Asset ID Site name Type Category X Y Located Ref Designation Sensitivity Description HH08 Broomerside Farmstead, Archaeological 280100 629400 SMR SMR N/A Low A small settlement or steading represented by three buildings and an enclosure is shown at or near this Settlement Remains 67316 location on General Roy's Military Survey of 1747-55. The site is not shown on mid-nineteenth century or later Ordnance Survey maps. Roy's map shows another small settlement to the NW, and both settlements appear to be associated with the name "Broomerside" which is placed between them on the map. Although it is likely that the other Broomerside site shown by Roy is that of the modern High Broomerside (see WoSAS PIN 67315), the topology of the sites in the landscape, and their relationship with the watercourses makes it very unlikely that this more south-easterly site is the same as the later Low Broomerside, which is not shown on O.S. maps until the mid-twentieth century. HH09 Broomerside (?) Animal enclosure Archaeological 279474 629778 DBA N/A N/A Low Circular earthen enclosure of c.14m diameter and banks up to 0.60m high and c.0.80m wide. (?)
