NT 5606 8516 As part of Fringe-by-the-Sea Performance Archaeology, EAFS surveyed two partial grids, a total of 560m2, on Castle Hill on 7 August 2013. The castle was held by three noble families, the MacDuffs, the Stewarts and the Lauders. The 13th-century 'castle' was a wooden motte and bailey built by the MacDuffs, Thanes of Fife. A substantial higher resistance anomaly 17 x 4.7m was noted to the NW of the survey area, possibly representing wall foundations. A further area of the East Links adjacent to Castle Hill was surveyed but nothing of note was detected.
