Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken in the grounds of Cowane's Hospital, Stirling, Stirlingshire, by Addyman Archaeology with volunteer participants from 12th - 19th September 2016. Five trenches were excavated. Trenches 1 -4 were hand-dug and placed across the edges of the bowling green in order to determine the sequence of alterations to the green and identify any preserved original 18th century bowling green edges. Trench 5 was located in the south-east area of the parterre garden, and was designed to investigate the original garden path network as designed by John Harlaw in 1713. Trenches 1-4 recovered the stratigraphy of the bowling green, and identified 20th century expansions of the green with associated drainage; earlier 19th century levelling deposits, drainage systems, and rubble levelling layers; and, in Trench 1, indications of pre-bowling green strata. Trench 5 was successful in identifying a portion of the garden path network, and also exposed a previous garden structure, modern cuts, planting beds and two dog inhumations. |
