In 1858, the Elgin Literary and Scientific Association conducted excavations at Lady Hill on the site of the castle. Three skeletons were discovered just outside the outer walls of the castle, together with a flint arrowhead, several pottery sherds, a quern and a copper coin of Charles II.
There is no recorded stratigraphic relationship between the finds, or with the remains of the castle (NJ26SW 7).
