Two evaluation trenches were excavated at the Keiss Road broch. One trench was excavated within the central area of the broch, and a second one outside and to the NE of the broch. Both trenches measured 2 x 1m. The trench within the broch revealed no surviving in situ deposits. The trench outwith the broch revealed a topsoil deposit of at least 2m depth.
