Under the terms of its PIC contract with Historic Scotland, Kirkdale Archaeology was asked to carry out the archaeological recording at Fort George (Fig. 1) of a trench excavated in order to facilitate the repair of a water pipe located in the southern portion of the fosse, between the covered way surrounding the ravelin (to the east) and the south-east bastion of the fort (to the west). Although nothing of particular archaeological interest was revealed during the works, the fort and its surroundings must be considered to be of high archaeological potential, and any future ground-breaking work should be similarly accompanied by an archaeological watching brief.
