Abstract: |
An archaeological assessment was carried out on an historic hawthorn tree that had become uprooted during storms in mid-December 2011. The tree has been identified as a potential remnant of 16th-century planting/hedges, associated with a version of the King's Knot formal earthwork or mount, a unique and complex site located at the foot of Stirling Castle rock. The assessment comprised an inspection of the fallen tree and a brief walkover of the immediate environs. The inspection revealed that part of the bank's fabric had been exposed and it was recommended that further detailed inspection was carried out and that any remedial work should be carefully monitored. |
