In 2016 a KCFC project organised an archaeological and dendrochronological walk-over survey of Killearn Glen by volunteers led by Northlight Heritage and Dendrochronicle. The project identified the types and age of tree species, likely historic land use and archaeological sites potentially dating from the Late Medieval to the Modern periods.
The Place of Killearn Geophysical Survey (1993)
The Place was a seventeenth century manor house – at one time the largest in Killearn. This survey, by Glasgow University Archaeological Research Division on behalf of the Killearn Trust, was an attempt to identify its precise location.
