A watching brief on field drain repairs at Kellie Castle was conducted on 15th and 16th April 2013, funded by the National Trust for Scotland. Eleven trial trenches were dug to find and repair the blocked drains. A 19th- or 20th-century clay tile drain was found running roughly E – W along the S side of the castle and walled garden. An earlier stone culvert was found running roughly N – S in the meadow to the S of the walled garden. Possible structural remains were found in trench D, close to the SE corner of the castle.
