Abstract:		 A watching brief was maintained within the basement of the tower house of Kilchurn Castle to supervise the removal of soft deposits from the floor ahead of the laying of a concrete skim. There was evidence seen to suggest that the north door was a later insertion. This would in turn suggest that the basement was originally accessed via another aperture, perhaps the southwest doorway to the courtyard. Further evidence for the insertion of the north doorway was seen after examining the main build of the exterior northeast wall of the tower - this is largely composed of sub-rounded sandstone blocks. There is a clear cut around the inserted doorway and the masonry within it comprises sub-rounded sandstone blocks spaced with slivers of schist, which is comparable to the build of the late 17th-century barracks abutting the tower to the northwest.
