NS 69639 98128 A programme of vegetation clearance, test pitting and laser scanning was undertaken at Coldoch Broch. The work which was undertaken, 27 February – 1 March 2014, formed part of the Lowland Brochs Project funded by Forestry Commission Scotland.
The vegetation clearance and test pitting was carried out by the Archaeology Scotland Adopt-a-Monument team, with support from Jonathan Wordsworth, staff from Stirling Council and volunteers, in an area outside of the scheduled area at the broch. A subsequent phase of work consisted of the laser scanning of the broch and the production of drawings by AOC Archaeology Group.
