NT 50943 76697 An excavation of two test pits in September 2013 confirmed that the ground level around the building has been raised considerably (up to 0.75m) with soil and midden. An examination of the sill height of the door into the eastern chamber indicates that the exterior ground surface for the lodge would have been c300–400mm lower than today. The boundary wall is considered to date to the late 18th or 19th century.
