Abstract: |
Archaeological monitoring was carried out during ground breaking works associated with the conversion of a 19th century building into a hotel at 33 Spittal Street, Stirling. The work included watching briefs during the excavation of test pits and service trenches and a small open area excavation. Due to delays in the construction process the work was carried out intermittently over a period of over four years from October 2009 until January 2014. The fieldwork uncovered boundaries, a well and large pits associated with activity within the medieval burgage plots stretching back from Spittal Street. The features produced large amounts of pot dating from the 12th to the 16th century. No medieval buildings were recorded Remains of post-medieval buildings and boundaries on the form of mortared stone walls were recorded at several locations. Some of these can be identified as buildings and walls featured on the 1st edition OS map of Stirling from the mid-19th century. |
