Abstract: |
Addyman Archaeology was contacted by Ristol Consulting Ltd. to undertake a metal detecting survey and evaluation on a plot of land known as Dykedale to the east of Dunblane prior to development (14/0053/FUL). The site is located within the boundary of the Sheriffmuir battlefield as defined and protected by Historic Scotland. Due to the the sensitive location of the site, Stirling Council placed an archaeological condition on the development and also agreed on the WSI. A total of forty-two metal artefacts were recovered during the metal detecting survey. For the most part, the assemblage was comprised of 19th and 20th century domestic and argricultural debris of limited archaeological significance. Of the artefacts recovered, only three are of particular interest and have been submitted to Treasure Trove; these include a Copper Alloy buckle, an Iron Knife blade repurposed as a file, and a Lead musket ball which may relate to the Battle of Sheriffmuir fought in 1715. A domestic midden, likely late 19th century in date, was uncovered through metal detecting within what was probably a garden plot adjoining south gable of Dykedal cottage. The presence of the midden was recorded but unexcavated as it will remain unaffected by the proposed development. The subsequent archaeological evaluation that took place on site uncovered no additional finds or features. The site was mostly made up of cultivated farmland planted with turnips, with a thin layer of ploughsoil overlying the natural sandy clay. A Morrison 2015. |
