Under the terms of its P.I.C. call-out contract with Historic Scotland, Kirkdale Archaeology was asked to undertake a programme of standing building recording exercises and archaeological monitoring in the N range of Holyrood Palace during intrusive works and alterations. Most of this work involved a baseline recording of features on the third floor, especially the examination of under floor features exposed during work carried out as part of the Services Upgrade Project. Other features closely examined include structural features uncovered in the E wall of the ground floor kitchen.

Features in the E wall of the ground floor kitchen were revealed after the removal of plaster. The features were described and interpreted. This work was carried out on 5th January 2003.
