An archaeological watching brief was undertaken by AOC Archaeology Group during the excavation for eight test pits and two trenches in the grounds of Doune castle (NN 72849 01071). The work was undertaken under the terms of the Minor Archaeological Services Call-off Contract.

The works consisted of eight test pits and two trenches being excavated to replace water pipes. The works identified no archaeological features. Two artefacts comprising a horseshoe and animal bone were identified in one test pit, however as they were recovered from backfill material, their origin is unknown.
