NO 253 074 Four exploratory trenches were excavated by Scotia Archaeology Limited at first floor level within the E range of the palace to determine the age of the deposits that overlay the vaulted cellars below. All such materials, comprising concrete, bricks, felt/bitumen and ashy waste had been deposited during the Marquis of Bute's renovations in the late 19th century or when the concrete floor was laid in the 1930s and 1960s.
