St Andrews Castle Geophysical Survey

NO 51260 16935 A geophysical survey was undertaken, 22 – 24 March 2018, across a 0.6ha area within the current grounds of St Andrews Castle. Resistance and ground penetrating radar (GPR) surveys were undertaken within the Properties in Care (PIC) area, excluding areas of previous evaluation/excavation. The survey results were dominated by presumed natural responses and anomalies thought to be associated with modern landscaping. No anomalies clearly suggestive of archaeologically significant remains were detected.
There was evidence to suggest the possible remnants of a western limit of the ditch surrounding the castle and a possible annex. Although a mine has been detected near the entrance within the ditch, it has not been identified along its full course within the PIC area due to its depth being beyond the range of the 250MHz GPR system.
