Abstract: |
A metal detecting survey was carried out by GUARD Archaeology Limited in collaboration with the Centre for Battlefield Archaeology, University of Glasgow, at the perceived location of Killiecrankie Battlefield to the south of Blair Atholl, Moulin Parish, Perthshire. The work was carried out for Jacobs UK Limited on behalf of Transport Scotland to inform the cultural heritage input into the Design Manual for Roads and Bridges Stage 2 Assessment for the Killiecrankie to Pitagowan project. The survey focused on a linear stretch of land to the north and south of the existing A9 road comprising the Battlefield site. Investigations were carried out with the assistance of metal detecting volunteers from Detecting Scotland (DS) and Scottish Artefact Recovery Group (SARG). Significant finds included 41 musket/carbine/pistol balls, six copper alloy buttons, two buckles, four horse shoe and horseshoe fragments, several fragments of a copper alloy bangle, a copper alloy pendant, a copper alloy harness boss and a part of the support for a sword belt. |
