Abstract: |
A watching brief was maintained over earthworks associated with driveway repairs at Castle Fraser, Aberdeenshire. A drainage trench S of the castle revealed a stone wall 900mm wide and extending 2.5m NE/SW across the trench at NJ 72290, 12530. The wall does not appear on 18th-century estate maps and may be of post-medieval date. A small sherd of post-medieval pottery was found while cleaning the wall. A second wall was found N of the castle at NJ 72282, 12609. It was 800mm wide and 400mm surviving height and appeared to have been a revetting wall, possibly of 18th-century date. |
