Abstract: |
Archaeological watching briefs were carried out at Stirling Castle during restoration works in 2008 and 2009. Excavation in advance of new service pipes in the Douglas Gardens. This revealed evidence of landscaping works during the construction of The Chapel Royal in 1594. Recording and monitoring in advance of alterations to the Palace comprising: The re-opening of a 17th-century door in the north corridor. The installation of service ducts in the attic space. The removal of a ceiling beam in the Mezzanine level of the Prince's Tower. Access to a possible garderobe shaft in the west wall of the West Range. The monitoring of new joist pocket installation throughout the principal floor of the Palace. Detailed records made of elevations associated with the Governor's kitchen - both internal and external. Monitoring of service duct installation within the King's Old Building and leading towards the Old Chapel. Standing building recording completed at the southeast corner of the Upper Floor. This completed the drawn record of the upper floor in line with the survey to date. Also, during work on the Upper Floor of the East Range of the Palace several crudely carved 19th-century toy soldiers and horses were retrieved by contractors. |
