NJ 7962 0050 A watching brief was maintained, 30 October – 11 November 2014, in the courtyard at Drum Castle during the removal of existing tarmac and the levelling of underlying surfaces prior to resurfacing. A 19th-century yard surface, identified in excavations in the courtyard in May–June 2014, only survived in patches between trenches cut for services.

Details of the base of the wall of the 14th-century tower were recorded.
