NJ 72276 12557 A public dig was carried out, 13–16 October 2017, on the lawn in front of Castle Fraser. The excavation consisted of twenty-seven 1 x 1m test trenches with the aim of identifying structural remains previously uncovered in part during driveway repairs. The excavation included the participation of over 200 members of the public of all ages and uncovered the remains of a potential 16th-century Barmkin structure.
