NJ 10839 69178 A watching brief was undertaken May – August 2012 at Burghead Pictish Fort and Visitor Centre (former coastguard station) during work associated with a toilet extension and associated services. Work to the E edge of the coastguard station revealed part of the retaining wall of the rampart and a small section of wall of unknown function. Monitoring of services revealed little or no archaeological deposits. The area had been heavily disturbed during the building of the coastguard housing and lay in an area previously excavated by Alan Small in 1966.
