NN 7287 0126 An archaeological watching brief was conducted during the upgrade and widening of a 95m length of existing core path and formation of a new stepped ramp at Doune Castle and Roman Fort, Stirling.
Excavation of the pathway to Doune village reached a maximum depth of 0.15m, removing only topsoil that yielded several modern iron objects and one Scottish bawbee coin upon metal detecting. Footpath formation along the Doune Castle driveway encountered the former road surface atop natural subsoil at a depth of 0.30m. The construction of a stepped ramp excavated into the embankment, east of the Roman fort. The section comprised heavily bioturbated topsoil atop natural subsoil to a maximum height of 2.1m. No significant archaeological features or deposits were observed or disturbed.
