Abstract: |
Archaeological monitoring works were carried out in respect to the insertion of a new outfall pipe at Culzean Castle. The archaeological works were designed to mitigate the impact on the archaeological remains within their development area. The works did not reveal the presence of any significant archaeological features or in situ structural remains within the excavated areas. The pipe started in the garden to the immediate rear of the castle, and only met modern made ground surrounding the insertion of the sceptic tank. As it ran down the slope, it exposed 20th century dumped material which had likely been cast down the slope during an earlier phase of refurbishments to the castle. With the possible exception of one small area near to the top of the slope, the works did not reach deeper than these deposits and did not reveal the underlying natural subsoil. |
