Abstract:		 The present archaeological programme comprised archaeological monitoring and excavation in the courtyard of Rowallan Castle, concurrent with a comprehensive historic building record of fabric newly-exposed as part of the present programme of renovations. At the close of works, two discrete areas had been excavated. The first revealed the foundations of the south range of the castle, with overlying rubble and levelling deposits providing a platform for the present courtyard. The foundations are almost certainly contemporaneous with the ground floor of the stair tower, while the levelling of the courtyard relates to the underlying vaulting of the pend and establishment of courtyard entrances in the south range and stair tower. In addition, refuse deposits of 18th- and 19th-century date were identified in the south-west side of the courtyard. Further intrusive works within the paved area of the courtyard revealed modern foundations above what is likely to be the mortared capping of the vaulted pend. Historic building recording included a room and stairway on the ground floor of the south range (components 16 and 21) and the spiral stairwell of the south-west stair tower (component 4). This has contributed to the existing stone-by-stone survey presented in A Palace Fit for a Laird (Ewart and Gallagher 2009).
