Abstract:		 Addyman Archaeology undertook excavation of a series of test pits at Old Castle Lachlan, Argyll as part of an ongoing programme of restoration of the castle. Following Scheduled Monument Consent, four test pits were excavated through the concrete floor of the castle, in order to understand the nature of the substrate and bedding beneath the concrete and determine the depth and extent of any archaeological deposits surviving beneath. Test Pits 1 and 2 were excavated in the West Hall. Test Pit 1 revealed a considerable depth of rubble and the remains of a lime mortared wall running east west parallel to the front wall of the castle. Test Pit 2 abutted the fireplace and revealed the base of the moulded fireplace and hearth slab indicating the original floor level. Test Pits 3 and 4 were excavated in the East Hall. Test Pit 3 uncovered what may have been a rough levelling deposit of stones with a clay patch, possibly sealing the top of the vaults. Within Test Pit 4 a deposit was uncovered which has been interpreted as the top of the vault beneath.
