Activities

Watching Brief (August 2021)

NJ 07000 57160 (centred) A metal-detecting survey was undertaken adjacent to Blervie Castle Farm, Rafford, in August 2021, prior to the construction of a new house next to the remains of Blervie Castle (SM 5625; Canmore ID: 129081).

The metal-detecting survey identified several corroded iron objects, probably originating from relatively recent farm machinery, none of which was retained. No further archaeological work could be undertaken in relation to the current development, however, there is still potential for buried archaeological remains to be present within the area.
