Abstract:
A watching brief was carried out during the excavation of two small trenches in advance of the installation of new signs at Ravenscraig Castle, Kirkcaldy. The first trench was located outside the Castle to the N, adjacent to the path approaching the site from the NE (NT 2908 9252), while the second was in the courtyard to the S of the Castle (NT 2096 9245). The only noteworthy deposits were seen in the second trench, where the upper surface of a rubble deposit was revealed. The mortar noted on some of the stones indicated that this represents structural debris, with the probable wall line to the W, and the ruined range of buildings to the E are likely sources for this material. This trench demonstrated the potential for archaeological deposits to survive within the castle's courtyard.
