ⓘWhat do the D1–D5 confidence tiers mean?›
- D1A single attributed public source (museum, council, Historic England, CWGC, mapping data).
- D2Two or more independent public sources corroborate the same facts.
- D3A named coordinator or local reviewer has confirmed the public-source account.
- D4A named observer has personally visited and documented the site — photographs, inscriptions, condition.
- D5An archive or institution has provided written documentation supporting the entry.
A higher tier means more corroborating evidence, not automatic historical certainty. The Discovery layer does not replace archival verification.
A memorial cairn of dressed stone at Graham Avenue remembers the people of Clydebank, the shipbuilding town near Glasgow that suffered the worst civilian losses in Scotland during the Second World War. In the Clydebank Blitz of 13-14 March 1941, around 1,200 people were killed and the town was all but destroyed. The cairn was raised by the burgh and unveiled in 1961.
