Archaeological Notes

NN70SE 80 781 014

NN 781 014 In November 1995 an archaeological excavation and watching brief were carried out in the vicinity of Dunblane Cathedral in advance of and during the excavation of a cable trench to allow for the erection of new street lighting.
A small area of cobbling was revealed, comprising roughly dressed sub-angular stones resting on a levelling bed of clean sharp sand, over a layer of dark brown compact clay material containing occasional small 19th-century pottery fragments. A large dressed sandstone block with a semi-circular groove was revealed but not disturbed 5m NW of the cobbling and directly below the modern kerb stones. No other features were located.
A detailed report will be lodged with the NMRS.
