NG 8669 2508 A programme of conservation work was undertaken, 20 January – 25 March 2018, at the broch. This involved the consolidation of displaced stones within the walls and on the wall head, and the stabilisation of weakened load-bearing elements such as lintels spanning passageways. The work, undertaken by stonemasons, was monitored and recorded by an archaeologist. The recording consisted of a before and after conservation laser scan survey, using a Trimble TX5 laser scanner, and production of a written and photographic record.
