NS 7035 4444. An archaeological watching brief was carried out over a number of weeks in advance of a housing development to the NE of Avondale Castle. The development area was found to consist of made ground, probably dating to the 19th century when the road level of North Street appears to have been raised. The remains of a house, possibly dating to the early 19th century, were uncovered below modern debris and rubble.
