Daniel Rhodes – The National Trust for Scotland
NJ 72276 12557 A volunteer dig was carried out on the lawn to the S of Castle Fraser. The excavation targeted structural remains previously uncovered in part during driveway repairs and previous public excavations.
The dig uncovered the remains of two substantial walls running roughly parallel. The more substantial eastern wall may have been revetement and artefacts suggest it was demolished sometime in the 17th century. The wall to the W was stratigraphically later but with no direct dating evidence.
