Archaeology
The primary responsibility of the Archaeology Service is to advise Stirling and Clackmannanshire Councils, principally through the planning process, on the conservation and management of the archaeological resource within their areas. The Service aims to ensure that all development and other land use take into account the need to conserve the historic environment by improved management through the provision of professional advice to landowners, public utilities, private developers, foresters, other land managers and the wider public.
The Service maintains the Stirling and Clackmannanshire Sites and Monuments Record (S&CSMR) - the comprehensive record of all known archaeological sites, finds and fieldwork within the Council's boundaries. The Sites and Monuments Record (SMR) forms the basis for all conservation and management advice as well as providing a valuable resource for education and research. A summary of the SMR is available on line, as is an Online Search Helppage.
Before using the SMR, we recommend you take some time to read the Conditions of Use.
