NJ 7227 1255 A watching brief was undertaken, 1 November 2017 – 23 January 2018, on drainage works around the footprint of Castle Fraser. Much of the area had been disturbed by earlier drainage and service trenches. However, a buried ground surface was noted extending in front of the S façade of the castle, but with a gap, interpreted as a pathway in line with the central S doorway. A small number of finds in this layer are not closely datable but fit well with a late 18th-century date.
