Paul Fox – Kirkdale Archaeology

NS 7348 5376 and NS 7350 5373 A watching brief was maintained on 23 May 2011 during masonry restoration at Cadzow Castle. The first phase of work consisted of the removal and reinstatement of a badly leaning wall in the Inner Ward of the castle (NS 7348 5376). The second phase involved the clearance of earth from an unidentified structure located on the bedrock ridge to the SE of the castle (NS 7350 5373). The newly uncovered masonry was then cleaned and reinstated. No archaeological deposits or finds were recorded; however, the exposed masonry was examined and recorded.
