As part of a project to renew lightening conductors at Castle Fraser, small trenches for seven of the conductors were archaeologically excavated around the perimeter of the building. Two to the E of the castle revealed garden earth and planting holes associated with the former 17th century Privy Garden and a 19th century flower border. Two to the S side of the castle revealed stone-built drains, possibly of late 18th century date. The final three trenches in the courtyard revealed details of buildings of 19th century date.
