A watching brief, and restricted excavation and survey, were carried out on behalf of Fife Regional Council during partial demolition and redevelopment. Blocked doors and chimneys were noted. The remains of the foundations of the south wall of the previous house were located. Below the present floor several earlier floors, including one cobbled, one of coal were recorded. At a depth of 80cm below the present floor level the underlying sand showed numerous archaeological features, post holes, stake holes, a pit. Finds were mainly of 18th and 19th century date, but too little of the lower layers was exposed to date these. Sponsors: Fife Regional Council, Fife Archaeological Index.
