Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation, test-pitting investigation and metal detecting survey was undertaken by AOC Archaeology in relation to a new house construction within an arable field lying immediately to the south of Dunmore Road on the eastern edge of the village of Balfron, Stirlingshire. The metal detecting survey encountered five modern farm machinery parts throughout the entire area surveyed. The evaluation consisted of 250 m2 of trench through uniform topsoil throughout the site. A series of five 1 m by 1 m test-pits were hand excavated with the spoil subsequently sieved and metal detected. Only one piece of modern farm machinery, one piece of modern white ceramic and one piece of modern glass were found. No significant archaeological features or finds were discovered. No further works are considered necessary within the development area. This recommendation requires the approval of the Stirling Council Planning Officer (Archaeology). |
