Abstract:		 Investigations were undertaken by GUARD Archaeology Limited in collaboration with the Centre for Battlefield Archaeology at Cambuskenneth Abbey. These investigations included a Geophysical Survey, a Metal Detecting Survey and Targeted Evaluation Trenches. The geophysical survey was conducted across the field to the west of Cambuskenneth Abbey. The survey covered a total area of 340m² spread over several areas and was undertaken over four days. The survey aimed to cover areas of topographic variance that may suggest underlying archaeological remains. Both resistivity and gradiometry survey methods were utilised across the test grids to highlight any potential anomalies for further investigation via evaluation trenches. The geophysical survey highlighted several anomalies of potential archaeological significance. Seven evaluation trenches were excavated to investigate some of these anomalies. The metal-detecting survey covered an area of 17 hectares across the fields to the south and west of Cambuskenneth Abbey. There were a total of 1044 finds retained; these included 36 coins, one of which was identified as an Edward I coin giving a late thirteenth to early fourteenth century date for its minting. This coin is minted in London and could feasibly have been lost around the time of the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314. In addition 44 musket balls, some of which were distorted or partial, were recovered during the survey. These varied in size from small shot of 5 mm diameter to larger shot of approximately 15 mm. Two possible cannon shot were also found, as were 22 buttons and 3 buckles.
