NX 73948 62281 (centred) A watching brief and survey were carried out at Threave Castle (Canmore ID: 64698), in February 2019, in order to monitor the removal of lectern stones and to survey the damage being caused by badgers living on the island.

No archaeological features were encountered during the watching brief. The survey showed that the badgers have caused some damage to the turf and topsoil around the site, by digging two burrows and a number of test burrows.
