Country: Scotland Archaeologists have found traces of a 2000-year-old wall at Culzean Castle along with possible prehistoric artefacts. The finds were made during an archaeological excavation before the construction of new terraces in front of the Old Stables Café.

The work is being undertaken by a small group of volunteers, supervised by the National Trust for Scotland’s west region archaeologist, Derek Alexander.

He said the finds were ‘very exciting’ and added: ”The wall is made of large rounded granite boulders with courses of small sandstone slabs in between. The boulders must have been brought to the site and are unlike any thing else on the cliff top.”
