NO 119 231. A large deep machine trench was dug in the area between Princes Street and Marshall Place to locate the northern defences of the Cromwellian citadel. The defensive ditch was not located but a sand layer and stone foundations may have belonged to the fort interior. No conclusive dating evidence was recovered.
