NS 7253 5570 Assessment excavations were carried out as part of redevelopment of a plot of land between Back o' Barns and Castle Street. Most of the remains uncovered were found to be of recent date. Fragmentary remains of probable medieval date were found in one trench. These comprised part of a linear cut feature, the fill of which included a sherd of green-glazed pottery. Work revealed that much of the site had been scarped in recent times and it is unlikely that any further remains of pre-modern date survive.
