Abstract: |
In advance of the creation of a community garden at Braehead by the Community Council in 2014 archaeological investigations were carried out by GUARD Archaeology Limited, in collaboration with Stirling Council. These investigations consisted of a metal detecting survey and the excavation of test pits and took place on 13th and 14th September 2013. The aim of the project was to determine the presence or absence of archaeological deposits and metal artefacts that may relate to the Battle of Bannockburn ahead of the construction of the Community Garden. The work was achieved with the help of volunteers from the local community, including 350 school children from the nearby Braehead Primary School and Nursery. The metal-detecting survey was conducted across the entire site by members of the Scottish Artefact Recovery Group (SARG) and Detecting Scotland working alongside GUARD Archaeology staff. In this way 21 test pits were excavated during the course of the project. |
