NJ 7230 1258 A blockage in a pipe between a septic tank in the lawn E of Castle Fraser and the field to the SE of the castle required a trench for a drain to be cut across a low banked linear feature to the S of the drive. A test pit was dug by hand on 17 September 2014 to evaluate and record the nature of the feature which appears to have been a stone culvert, possibly

identified as a culvert shown on an 1846 estate map taking water to a former lake.
