Battle of Dupplin Moor excavation?

Post by Gaston de Clermont »

I was reading last night in Kelly DeVries book Infantry Warfare in the 14th Century ( http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/de ... s&n=507846 ) that after the battle of Dupplin Moor in 1332 that thousands of fallen soldiers were burried in a mass grave on the battle field. It sounded much like at Wisby.
Does anyone know if there's ever been an attempt to find this mass grave and excavate it? I did find that there used to be a cross marking the site of the battle, but it got moved to a church.
