AOC Archaeology group was commissioned by Richard Amos Ltd on
behalf of their clients to undertake a watching brief at Marchmont
House, Greenlaw, the Scottish Borders. The watching brief was to
monitor works associated with the installation of a biomass boiler and
accumulator tank at Marchmont House.
Several features relating to post-medieval activity were recorded during
the excavations including five midden and waster pits, as well as former
services and foundations relating to ranges associated with Redbraes
Castle. The upstranding gable end of the southwestern range of the
castle was identified incorporated into a former estate cottage which is
itself now ruined.
