Geophysical survey was carried out 8–12 April 2012 close to Fyvie Castle. A GPR survey was undertaken in the areas surrounding the castle buildings. The strongest and most coherent anomalies are due to utilities and drains. Several anomalies of potential archaeological significance were located. These were focused in the courtyard and to the S of the castle. Within the courtyard two linear zones, c3–4m wide, were detected in the N and E of the survey block. These suggest the remains of possible N and E wings/curtain walls.
