NH 805 958 An archaeological watching brief was carried out in July 2006 to record the nature and extent of any archaeology revealed during excavations for a new house at Littleferry, Sutherland, in response to a planning condition. A pit was identified as a natural feature. A scatter of redeposited lithic artefacts was noted, mixed with modern debris. The source of the material was unclear. No other features or artefacts of archaeological significance were found.

Report lodged with Highland SMR and Library Service and NMRS; archive will be deposited with RCAHMS.

Sponsor: Mr and Mrs D Steadman.
