A watching brief was carried out at Dundonald Castle, Ayrshire on 10th April 2000 while contractors carried out excavations in order to locate a broken electricity cable. The cable supplied electricity to floodlights situated around the E side of the tower. The entire length of the cable was excavated in order to locate a fault which had caused the lights to fail.

The sections of shallow cable trench exposed in this limited excavation provided no new archaeological material.
