Abstract:		 An archaeological excavation was undertaken by AOC Archaeology in relation to a hotel development on the grounds of the former Rainbow Slides Leisure Centre on Goosecroft Road, Stirling. The excavation follows on from an earlier evaluation that uncovered a large deposit of dark grey clay along the NE boundary of the site that may relate to the medieval and post medieval town boundary. The excavation concentrated on the proposed building footprint, and revealed up to 0.7 m of made ground overlying the former post medieval soils. Constructed within this later soil horizon were two sandstone walls related to 19th century buildings on the site. Under this soil horizon, a very large cut feature was revealed measuring 8.7 m (N-S) by 10 m (E-W) that extended further E and S out with the excavation area. The alignment of the feature is consistent with the town boundary ditch that was revealed in the evaluation and fragments of white gritty ware and other ceramics were found within the fills.
