Abstract:		 An archaeological trial excavation and topographic survey was undertaken by the Inner Forth Landscape Initiative, with local volunteers, and AOC Archaeology Group at Valleyfield Stables. The excavations and geophysics focussed on the 19th century stable block of the designed landscape of Valleyfield house, which survives as the slight remains of upstanding walls overlain by demolition rubble. The topographic survey and excavations investigated the 19th century stable and office block and fountain within the central courtyard. Trench 1 was excavated over one of the rooms of the stable and office block and demonstrated this to be the one of the stables of the courtyard building. Trench 1 revealed a well preserved concrete floor to the stables with an impressed chevron pattern marking the individual stalls, with the remains of a post setting between each stall for a partition wall. Trench 1 also investigated the entrance into the courtyard, revealing a further patterned concrete floor, with repairs, along with a post setting for the main gates into the stable block. Trench 2 revealed the cobbled surface of the courtyard as well as investigating the central stone feature within the courtyard. This central stone feature has previously been described as a fountain or doocot. The excavations revealed details of the structure and its infill. Overall the excavations showed that the remains of Valleyfield House Stables, while now reduced to a series of rubble mounds, are well preserved below ground and contain a wealth of information about the use and history of the building.
