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.
