A watching brief was carried out by Kirkdale Archaeology at Skipness Castle in October 1995, in advance of the digging of drainage channels within the courtyard. Four narrow trenches were opened, revealing 18th-century metalled pathways and a possible 13th-century drainage ditch. Elements of the gravel platform upon which the castle was originally constructed were also encountered.
