Archaeological monitoring works were carried out in respect to various ground breaking works around the grounds and estate of Culzean Castle, Maybole, South Ayrshire. The archaeological works were designed to mitigate the impact on the archaeological remains within their development area. The works carried out did not identify the presence of any significant archaeological features. The only archaeological features present were those relating to modern 19th to 21st century activity.
