The large assemblage includes the first prehistoric finds found at Stirling Castle, and a range of medieval to modern material. The 17th-century midden layers are particularly rich in finds.
There are also deposits of 13th and 14th-century midden and pockets of 16th-century midden as well as dumps of modern material, though upper layers are particularly disturbed by a profusion of Victorian and later service trenches. The most unusual find is an in situ fragment of a brick floor of probable early 16th-century date is associated with industrial activity.
