Abstract: |
Eamonn Wall and Co commissioned Alder Archaeology to undertake a rapid archaeological walkover survey in advance of tree planting at two areas (centred on NS 74416 87687 and NS 75101 87722 respectively) along the Bannock Burn close to Muirpark Farm, SW of Stirling. The two areas investigated lie in an area that was subject to limestone quarrying and lime processing through most of the 18th century. The quarry was in operation in 1702 and the workings were abandoned by the end of the 18th century. The walkover (site code ST22) was undertaken on the 27th October 2011 in good weather conditions. During the work 25 sites were discovered, including the remains of 20 horse-shoe shaped lime clamps or kilns in the form of simple banks constructed from stones and boulders with central depressions and flat working areas nearby. |
