NY 088 811 A trial trenching evaluation was carried out, 23 July – 5 August 2018, at Lochmaben Castle. The work aimed to shed new light on the castle's development and the nature of its occupation, as well as providing an opportunity for local community engagement.
There was evidence across the site for the possible landscaping which occurred for Queen Victoria’s Jubilee and this may have negatively affected any underlying medieval archaeology. The only potentially significant features were a possible medieval ditch within Trench 4 and a stone culvert in Trench 3. No definite interpretations could be made due to the size of trenches and time constraints.
