A watching brief was maintained during the excavation of ten small holes in the grounds of the Palace of Holyroodhouse. These were designed to take permanent survey markers, and were located around the S, E and N sides of the Palace complex. All the holes were hand dug by Historic Scotland staff, under archaeological supervision, and all measured 400 mm x 400 mm and were 125 mm deep. All these trenches were of such shallow depth that nothing of archaeological significance was recorded. The similar black sandy silt encountered in all trenches is likely to reflect the latest phase of use of the site as a garden.
