Abstract:		 Addyman Archaeology undertook Historic Building Recording and archaeological monitoring at Barnbougle Castle, South Queensferry as part of a programme of works to restore the castle. The Castle is a Category A Listed Building. The first house at Barnbougle was built in the 13th century. The present castle was originally built in the 17th century and was rebuilt in 1881 by the 5th Earl of Rosebery following an accidental explosion where it was partly blown up. The Historic Building Recording was undertaken in July 2018 and focussed on those areas subject to proposed alterations, including areas of the ground, first and second floors; a full photographic record was also made of the cellar, where parts of the 13th century castle wall survive. Evidence for at least three phases of construction was recorded in the Furnace Room of the cellar, which may date to the 13th century. The north wall of this cellar is rock-cut, with later rebuilding and blocking in stone and the 19th century cellar vaulting in brick. The archaeological monitoring was undertaken between May and July 2018 and comprised a series of monitoring visits to inspect excavated trenches. Two trenches were excavated across the Castle grounds on the terrace and the landscaped gardens to the south. The topsoil generally contained mortar and occasional rubble, presumably derived from demolition of the 17th century castle. A drain and two linear features appear to have been associated with the original building and a late 19th century ceramic sewer drain was partly reused to run the future sewer line from the Castle to the new septic tank to the south-east. The Castle is built directly over the bedrock, which has been terraced in some places, although it was unclear as to whether this was undertaken during the original 13th century construction or later rebuildings.
