A stone circle on the moorland above the forest line, its low stones half-hidden among the heather. Sites like these are reminders of a ritual landscape stretching back thousands of years.

Excavation of a medieval cruck-framed building, with substantial stone footings exposed in the turf. The scale of the rubble suggests a longhouse or byre of considerable size.

The stone-lined entrance to a mine shaft uncovered during excavation at Bannockburn House. The heavy lintel and carefully constructed opening point to a date possibly as early as the 16th century.
