NM 85240 31460 A second phase of excavation work was carried out, July 2017, in the castle courtyard at Dunollie, following initial work undertaken in 2016. This involved excavation of in situ deposits around the existing trench edges and over some of the built features exposed last year. Finds included food waste (mainly bone and shell) along with pottery (tin glazed
earthenware and Staffordshire slipware) and glass. The excavated deposits confirmed the picture of habitation of courtyard buildings dating from the late 17th to early 18th century prior to their demolition or abandonment.
