NJ 72276 12557 Between 14-23 August 2019 a public dig was carried out on the lawn in front of Castle Fraser (Canmore ID: 18722). The excavation consisted of 27 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 continued to uncover the remains of a potential 16th-century barmkin structure. A linear paved area and wall were also uncovered which may represent the remains of the medieval driveway.
