NY 3617 8494 Following a pilot survey in November 2013, a 3200m2 area to the S of the extant tower of the castle and to its E, as far as the racecourse, was examined in August 2013. Resistivity survey revealed several strong anomalies, resulting from stone debris, that formed a distinct circular shape (c15m in diameter) almost due E of the tower. Beyond that there were further concentrations of stone debris. The survey was carried out collaboratively between University of Glasgow and volunteers of the Discovering Dumfries and Galloway’s Past project.
