Under the terms of its call-off contract with Historic Scotland, Kirkdale Archaeology were asked to undertake a watching brief at Duffus Castle near Elgin while contractors under HS supervision carried out a partial clearance of the castle moat. The work would involve the removal of reeds and silt from three sections of the moat where the reed infestation was densest. Three 10m long stretches of moat were cleared of reeds by machine. Nothing of archaeological significance was found.
