A special survey of Rait Castle was carried between 2005 and 2008 to improve the record of the site following clearance of the undergrowth by the estate. This included a measured and photographic survey of the upstanding first floor hall. A review of the features that became visible as a result of the clearance in July 2008 indicated that there were additional ranges of buildings on the SE of the hall and a ditch on the NW and possibly NE of the hall. A visual survey of the wall-top was carried out from a cherry-picker provided by the estate. A wall walk was visible along the SE walltop and a floor on top of the vaulted ceiling over the round tower on the SW, suggesting a room only accessible from the wall walk. Regeneration of the undergrowth precluded further survey.
