NO 13208 34371 (NO13SW 6) A watching brief was carried

out, 18 June – 17 September 2018, on work associated with

the construction of a new passageway between the laundry

and lower floor of the tower house, and the demolition of a

larder on the N side of the laundry. Limited evidence was

recovered for the nature of the foundations of the tower

house. However, an ornate arched doorway was exposed,

against which the tower house had been built. This doorway

leads into the lower floor of the chapel and indicates that the

tower house was built against the N side of the pre-existing

chapel. The demolition of the larder did not record anything

of archaeological interest.
