Abstract: |
ARCHAS Cultural Heritage Ltd were commissioned by RTS Ltd to undertake an archaeological watching brief associated with the formation of a forestry track on land to the west of Buckieburn on the southern edge of the Stirling Council area. The track is required in order to facilitate the harvesting of existing forestry plantations south of the Buckieburn Resevoir. An archaeological planning condition was placed upon the development due to the proximity of a Scheduled Monument, Dundaff Hill Prehistoric Cairn and an unenclosed settlement recorded during survey work associated with the planting of the existing trees in the early 1990s. A walkover survey was completed prior to development which demonstrated the absence of any significant archaeological features along the length of the route. However, due to the proximity of the Scheduled Monument on Dundaff Hill, ARCHAS Ltd recommend further archaeological mitigation in this area. The watching brief failed to reveal any features or artefacts of archaeological interest. The boundaries of the Scheduled Monument were clearly delineated to ensure avoidance by plant during the tree felling operations. |
