Abstract:		 A watching brief was carried out during the excavation of six small test pits in the field just to the north of the visitor centre at Caerlaverock Castle. In addition, four slightly larger holes were excavated archaeologically. These excavations were intended to enable engineers to assess the suitability of the field for the construction of a new car park for the site. A geophysical survey undertaken prior to these works had identified some possible features, but the test pits were located to avoid these. There were deposits of uncertain date between the plough soil and underlying natural layers. Amongst these were found a fragment of modern china and a chert flake. There is the potential for archaeologically significant features to have remained intact beneath the ploughed soil. In none of the trenches did the modern plough soil reach the sub soil, indicating that archaeological features may well survive elsewhere. The chert flake, although very probably re-deposited, is a reminder of the potential for early sites along a relic coastline.
