Summary
Summary This report presents the findings of a metal detector survey undertaken on the site of a proposed business park development at Broadleys, Stirling. The site is located on the west side of the Bannock Burn and is considered to lie within the general area of engagement during the main part of the Battle of Bannockburn. It is known that the English Army set up camp somewhere on the west side of the burn, presumably to the east of the Pelstream Burn, in the general vicinity of the development site. The site is situated in what is known as the Carse, an area of thick marine clays covered by extensive peat deposits. It is likely that higher, dry areas existed within the bogs and these may have attracted activity, importantly in this context they may have been chosen as a preferred site for the English army's overnight camp. Latterly the study area appears to have remained undeveloped. It is an area of higher ground within the carse and a large ditch runs east to west across the middle of the site. This appears to have been an old watercourse, now diverted due to the building up of the surrounding land. Given these factors the site was recognised as having archaeological potential by Stirling Council's Archaeology Officer. The metal detector survey produced a variety of metalwork, none of it likely to relate to the Battle of Bannockburn or to be archaeologically significant. 4 1.
