NT 4177 7509 A watching brief was maintained on 16 August 2010 during excavations for the installation of a new handrail by the steps leading down a steep slope to the visitors’ toilet. A possible revetment was partially revealed but not fully excavated. The examination of a small section suggested that it may represent a collapsed revetment. Any future groundbreaking works should take account of the possibility that this structure could extend to the SE and NW of the stairs.
