This report describes the results of the survey and sample excavations of small cairns,
annular structures and other remains on Coats Hill, near Moffat. The difficulties of assessing

part of the archaeological studies for the North Western Ethylene Pipeline (NWEP) Project
for Shell Chemicals UK Ltd, which wholly funded the archaeological work and the publication
of this report
