NJ66SE 434 NJ 6898 6396
NJ 6898 6396 The floorboards and most of the joists in the ground floor rooms to the N and S of the main entrance of Banff Town House (NJ66SE 434), built in 1796, were fully recorded in November and December 2004 prior to being renewed. When the floor and underlying rubble in the N room was removed, c 4.6m of an earlier wall, running E-W, was revealed. This wall foundation pre-dates the Town House and it has been suggested that it might be the remains of Banff Palace, the town house of Lord Banff, reported to have been destroyed by Munro in 1642. No other archaeological features or finds were evident.
Report lodged with Aberdeenshire SMR and NMRS.
