Abstract: |
ARCHAS Cultural Heritage Ltd were contracted to undertake a metal detecting survey in advance of proposed development of a holiday cottage to the East of Mallard Cottage near Stirling. The site is located on the periphery of the Bannockburn Battlefield as defined by Historic Environment Scotland in the Battlefield Inventory. The archaeological works followed the placement of a planning condition upon the proposed development by Stirling Council. The condition required that a metal detecting survey be completed in advance of the proposed development in order to ensure any battlefield related artefacts were adequately recovered and recorded in advance of site works. Most artefacts recovered from the site were modern in date and of negligible archaeological interest. It is recommended that these are discarded. One artefact recovered during the survey was initially interpreted as a Jetton, possibly contemporary with The Battle of Bannockburn. However, specialist cleaning and conservation of this artefact revealed it to be a degraded 19th century French 'dix centimes' of Napoleon III. ARCHAS Cultural Heritage Ltd believe that due diligence has been completed on this project and recommend that the planning condition be discharged. |
