NS 0862 6367 Three trenches were excavated at St Mary's Chapel, a part-demolished 14th-century building adjacent to Rothesay High Kirk. Two thresholds were uncovered relating to an original ground surface within the chapel. The material overlying the floor of the original chapel has been demonstrated to be later infilling, and could be removed without serious loss to the archaeology of the site.

A fuller report has been deposited with the NMRS.
