NO 88128 83842 A watching brief was maintained, 28–30 April 2009, during the installation of a safety barrier along the path at the base of the castle promontory to the steps leading up to the castle entrance. Each of the 39 hand excavated postholes contained a fill which indicated that the path was on made-up ground that had been renewed and resurfaced at various stages. No archaeological features or finds were evident.
