NT 16470 66541 A watching brief was carried out 21–22 November 2011 during the excavation of an electrical cable trench. The trench was c0.5m wide and 0.6m deep, located 2.7m to the SE of Malleny House and ran for 14.5m through the western most boundary wall of the property, to the NW of the Bavelaw Burn. The excavation ran NE–SW, parallel to the longest axis of Malleny House and uncovered the foundations of a large stone and mortar wall. Where this wall has not been previously demolished is has been incorporated for a short distance into the existing boundary, but is easily distinguishable as it is considerably thicker and stands out as an obvious dogleg in the boundary orientation. It is not known if this wall represents an earlier boundary or an earlier exterior wall of Malleny House.
