ND 379 733 A watching brief, ahead of the laying of a sewage pipe, was conducted in May 1995 at John O'Groats Hotel, either side of the area assessed by GUARD in 1994 (James 1994). No archaeologically significant features were identified, though a number of artefacts were recovered from the topsoil, including several pieces of worked flint, two pieces of animal bone and a single sherd of pottery, probably of 14th century date.
