An area 10m by 10m was stripped to form the footprint for a new boiler house prior to the watching brief commencing. A pipe trench from the site of the new building to the castle was monitored and the remains of a stone wall and deposits of demolition debris were recorded towards the southern end of the trench to the west of the castle. These deposits may relate to earlier structures possibly related to the designed gardens or from temporary workshops associated with previous building and renovation work to the Castle. No artefacts were recovered during the watching brief.
