Standing Building Recording (23 July 2007 - 30 July 2007)
NS 986 859 Prior to the reconstruction of a garden wall, sloping up to the N from Culross Palace, a full building
record was produced. The work was undertaken from 23–30 July 2007 and showed four main phases of build, rebuild, repair and alteration. The earliest wall was of poor quality yellow sandstone, while the later constructions were of harder grey sandstone. Coping details were noted as being of the vernacular single slope, with the earlier coping detail having large sandstone blocks to the rear. Two investigative trenches were excavated on the site of potential retaining buttresses but no archaeological deposits were encountered to a depth of 0.7m.
