Abstract:		 Alder Archaeology was commissioned to undertake a programme of archaeological work on the Scheduled Ancient Monument, Moy Castle, Mull (NGR NM 61678 24753). The work (Alder site code MY01) was carried out during the period 02-05 July 2012 and was the latest in a series of archaeological works undertaken in conjunction with renovations to make the castle water-tight. The location of this phase of the archaeological work was the upper floor level (kitchen chamber or archaeological area 11). The kitchen chamber is an open area below the walkway where clay waterproofing is to be applied over the floor surface and a drain is to be inserted through the outer wall of the E window embrasure. The work entailed photographic recording of the chamber floor deposits, limited excavation of high areas of floor deposits and surface deposits within the window embrasures and the excavation of a short section of pipe trench into the floor of the E window embrasure. The removal of the high areas and excavation of deposits within the embrasures revealed finds of pottery, glass, iron (mainly nails) and animal bone, all considered to be early modern or modern. Of interest was a Dutch customs lead seal of modern date found on surface deposits of the E window embrasure. Parts of the original flooring of square sandstone slabs for the chamber were exposed and some of the internal mortar bonded stonework of the castle E wall was recorded when the pipe trench was excavated. No further archaeological work is required for this phase of the renovation work.
