NM 88287 34423 A watching brief was conducted during exploratory works for the replacement of a pipe and septic tank connected to the visitor centre of Dunstaffnage Castle (Canmore ID: 23026). Three test-pits were excavated to identify the line of the pipe between the visitor centre and a septic tank to the SE. Each test-pit identified that the pipe lay within topsoil backfilling the pipe trench. Screw augering to a depth of 0.6m indicated that topsoil was at least that deep and no other deposits were encountered. No archaeologically significant deposits or features were impacted upon.
