Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken in relation to a proposed development of a new school and nursery at parkland behind Main Street, Cowie, Stirling. The evaluation required up to 100 m2 of linear trench throughout the development area to establish the extent of the former Polmaisie quarry. From the initial trenches excavated it became clear that the majority of the area had been previously stripped during the use of the area as a quarry. However, only the SE half of site showed signs of gravel extraction with the remainder most likely having contained bunded material. After consultation with Stirling Councils Planning Officer (Archaeology) a 10 % evaluation of the NW half of the site was conducted, which included the proposed building footprint and the hard standing around it. The additional trench (Trench 7) indicted that the former topsoil still remained in the far NW corner of the development site but no archaeological features or artefacts were revealed throughout the evaluated area. No further works are considered necessary within the development area. This recommendation requires the approval of the Stirling Council Planning Officer (Archaeology). |
