Abstract:		 A team of students led by Gordon Noble (University of Aberdeen) and the current author (Cameron Archaeology Ltd) excavated 15 trial pits on the lawn on the west side of King's College on 16-17th March 2017. A larger trench 12 x 2.5-6.5m was opened 21-28th May 2017. Over 60 students and volunteers aged between 5 and 75, a troop of scouts, guides, Young Archaeologists Club, and several classes of school pupils helped with the excavation. Around 2300 people visited the dig during the 8 days and were greeted by dig staff members, introduced to the site and shown the finds. A N-S wall with a return at the north end of the trench may be the west and north walls of the grammar school. A threshold was identified and an area of cobbling leading to the threshold from High Street. Small trenches were excavated through demolition material and mortar floors were identified. Demolition material was recovered as well as many small finds dating to the period when the Grammar School was in use, from the 1530s to 25 April 1754. A dump of building rubble may be from the demolition of the façade adjacent to the site and rebuilding of the current façade in the late 19th century. A large number of finds date from possible Palaeolithic flint, medieval and post-medieval pottery, post-medieval glass, metalwork, building materials, 17th-century clay pipes and many other small finds.
