Abstract:
An excavation was carried out within a garden to the east of Doune Primary School, in advance of a proposed development by Stirling Council. The majority of the excavated remains relate to the Roman fort that dates to the Flavian occupation of Scotland between AD 80 and 86-7. Some features, including a ditch and postholes, pre-date the fort and are thought to be prehistoric. A full section through the defences on the north-east side of the fort was exposed, comprising three ditches and remains of the turf rampart. Cobbled surfaces relating to the intervallum road were recorded. A group of shallow pits between the road and the rampart contained evidence for metalworking. In the interior of the fort, part of a timber building was excavated which is interpreted as a cavalry barracks block. Numerous large pits were excavated within the building, and between it and the rampart. The pits within the building probably post-date its main phase of occupation, and may represent gravel quarrying or improvised latrines, pointing to a partial abandonment of the fort.
