NS 3281 7451 A watching brief was maintained during the
excavation of material in the fireplace within the Custodian's
Office. The exposed surfaces were drawn and photographed,
although no finds or early (non post-medieval) archaeological
features were recorded.
At a later date, observations were made of a trench excavated
within the castle, against the S wall of the N range, from which
bones had been reported. It was discovered that the animal
bones and china which had been found were from within a sand
deposit used as levelling material for a recent concrete floor. The
S wall of this block lay directly on top of bedrock in places.
