Abstract: |
Various archaeological watching briefs were carried out at Stirling Castle Palace prior to and during the commencement of restoration works in 2008. SCPP-2008-02: Monitoring of Slab removal prior to excavations between the 'Governor's Kitchen' and the King's Old Buildings SCPP-2008-03 and SCPP-2008-06: Monitoring of the excavation of a new drain along the base of the main west elevation of the palace (on the Ladies' Lookout). Most of this drain's route was through backfill from the 2004 excavation of the Ladies' Lookout. However, the south end of the drain revealed more of the foundations of the ragged angled wall at the SW corner of the Palace. SCPP-2008-07: Monitoring of the construction of new doorways in the Palace. The doorways were constructed by the MCU between the King and Queen's Bedchambers and also between the Queen's Inner and Outer Halls. Wall fabric and original door features revealed during downtaking were recorded. SCPP-2008-11: Within the Palace the re-pointing of a relieving arch in the King's closets was monitored and organic material found sealed behind it was sampled. Also, the removal of plaster from the S end of the upper corridor of the West Range was monitored and recorded as it revelaed roof fabric. SCPP-2008-15: The removal of 20th-century service conduits from the King's Inner Hall and the Queen's Inner Hall was monitored and the residual plaster sealed behind was recorded. |
