Bannockburn site
According to the Stirling Observer on 2 February, the Balquidderock Community Action Group are protesting plans to build a new high school on part of the supposed site of the Battle of Bannockburn (1314). The 57 acres of the Bannockburn Heritage Centre are evidently only a section of the battlefield.
I wonder how much archaeology has been done there? According to a report on the ‘24 hour museum’ only one iron arrowhead has been found so far. If the building of the school does go ahead, it would be reasonable to ask for the best part of the site to be examined by archaeologists. Digging test pits would be inadequate.
