NT 1924 8547 Four trial trenches were excavated in advance of a proposed reinstatement and replanting programme for the terraced gardens to the S of the castle. The trenches examined parts of the walled garden, as well as elements of the primary terraces, and eroded earthworks near the doocot. Evidence of plant beds and boundary features were revealed in the garden and terrace trenches. The findings of the trenches against the potential earthworks nearby the doocot were inconclusive. The trenching was part of an assessment of the terrace complex, involving topographic and geophysical surveys.
