Gary; This is why professionals like Mr. Ramsay are needed. The pictures of
the partial excavations appear in Andew Sinclair book. Yes a detailed study
of the Rosslyn site would apparently be of value from an archelogist's
perspective.

>>The radar scan was done at Rosslyn recently and revealed numerous hidden
>>vaults.Reflections registering as metal were found in several areas. The
>>scans also indicated two flights of steps beneath the floor of the Chapel.
>>The work was organised by a man named Andrew Sinclair and he was allowed
to
>>raise stone slabs to reveal three steep steps to a vault below. It was
>>small arched between two pillars but access to the main vaults beyond had
>>been sealed by a thick wall of stone masonry.
>> The second stairway found exactly where the Reverend Thompson had
>>described it in 1897 was far deeper and filled with sand and stone. The
>>excavation was stopped at this point and an attempt was made to drill
>>through the roof of the vault to lower an endoscope with a fibre optic
lead
>>to film the interior this proved impossible. It would appear that there
has
>>been as much attention given to the structure below ground as that above.
>> If there is a follow up I will let you know but the papers are not a lot
>>interested in these parts
