A number of test pits were excavated in June 2012 to check for the presence of earlier building remains within the interior of the current building. A wall aligned cNNE–SSW and built onto bedrock was recorded underlying the N–S aligned wall of the W wing of the house. It was unclear whether this was an earlier wall or part of the foundations of the current wall of the house, but the slight divergence in its alignment from the current wall does suggest it might be earlier in date.
