Abstract:		 Castle Leod is an L-shaped tower house located north of Strathpeffer in Easter Ross. The present castle occupies a grass-covered mound that is believed to be an earlier motte on which a previous wooden or stone castle tower was built. This report presents the results for an archaeological test trench evaluation of the castle site, the main objective of which was to provide baseline data about the condition and type of archaeological deposits surviving below the ground surface. Four trenches were excavated by volunteer professional archaeologists and experienced volunteers. The results indicated that while the intermediate terrace in front of the castle appears to have been landscaped, removing archaeological horizons, significant well-stratified archaeological layers survive beyond the castle motte. Further archaeological material relating to multiple periods of renovation and building on the castle site were also uncovered.
