NS 422 552 An archaeological watching brief was conducted during the excavation of a trench for a new electricity pole during the rebuild/refurbishment of the overhead line from Bowfield to Caldwell. This lay within an area of archaeological sensitivity surrounding the 16th-century Caldwell Tower and remains of Caldwell Castle. The excavation of a trench revealed a layer containing large sub-rounded stones, which may be rubble from the demolition of the castle in the late 17th century.

Full report lodged with the NMRS.
