NH 675 422 (centred on) A 5% evaluation was undertaken 29 June–9 July 2009 prior to development. The work covered a linear route from Essich Road (NH 656 414) to Culduthel Road (NH 668 414) in the W and an area of land at Slackbuie in the E. A total of 40 trenches were opened, four of which revealed deposits of an archaeological nature.
Two features in one trench revealed evidence of burning. The first was an oval pit containing sub-angular stones and charcoal flecks. The second was a spread of grey silt containing charcoal and sub-rounded cobble inclusions. Two other trenches revealed two small isolated features containing charcoal fragments.
