A Level 1 standing building survey was carried out on 28 April 2020 by Derek Hall Archaeologist and Ceramic Specialist at ‘The Ballroom’, a large building lying to the W of Megginch Castle in advance of its refurbishment, at the request of Perth and Kinross Heritage Trust. This was followed by the monitoring of three test trenches on 6 May 2020.

The author feels that the photographic survey and written notes describing the building known as ‘The Ballroom’ at Megginch Castle are an adequate record of these structures prior to their proposed refurbishment and there would seem to be no need for any further work. The monitoring of the test pits in the footprint of the proposed southern extension located nothing of archaeological interest also suggesting that there was no need for any further work prior to redevelopment. However, the final decision on both those conclusions rests with Perth and Kinross Heritage Trust.
