NS 734 537 Archaeological monitoring and recording were undertaken at Cadzow Castle in May 2006 during the removal (for reinstatement) of two large sandstone blocks, the first forming the sill of a window and the other acting as both sill support and the NW margin of an aperture floored by a projecting spout. The work took place at the NW corner of the Outer Ward at the level of the top of the basement barrel vault. Drawings were made and photographs taken in advance of any intrusive works to record the positioning of the various elements. Further recording was undertaken after clearance and removal of fallen masonry.
