Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation including a watching brief and excavation was carried out at the site of the new Broadford Medical Centre at High Road, Broadford, Isle of Skye. The evaluation recovered a wide range of features including a possible cairn, a stone-lined grave/cist, grain storage pits, a grain-drying kiln and a souterrain. Additional prehistoric features included pits and post-holes and potential evidence for early forest clearance, while stone-filled field drains and a drystone wall bordering High Road relate to later agricultural improvements and the formal layout of the road leading to the MacKinnon Memorial Hospital. The excavation of the prehistoric features at the site produced organic residues, sediment samples and small finds including ceramics and stone tools that will require specialist analysis. The post-excavation analysis of these materials is on-going and results will be included in a final publication.
