Abstract: |
Archaeological works including the investigation and recording of an exposed section of post medieval road and a limited programme of metal detecting was undertaken by AOC Archaeology in relation to improvement works on the Lower Back Walk situated below Stirling Castle (NGR: NS 78871 94046). The improvement works included the construction of a new path. This exposed a 13.0 m long section of truncated cobbled road relating to the John Bog passage (1531) from Stirling Castle to the Park. Hand cleaning revealed the road to be composed of large sub rounded cobbles, with occasional patches of metalling and a drainage ditch running along its eastern edge The cleaning revealed a number of 19th century ceramics and pipe stems. These were not recovered. The metal detecting recovered no significant archaeological material. No further works are considered necessary within the development area. This recommendation requires the approval of Mr Murray Cook Stirling Council Archaeologist. |
