NH 54153 55716 An evaluation and photographic survey was carried out in Conon Bridge in advance of the demolition of the former public house the Drouthy Duck for housing development plots and associated infrastructure. The work took place between 24 February and 1 April 2021.
The historic building recording created a photographic record of the Drouthy Duck prior to its demolition. Eleven trenches were excavated in the surrounding open ground and identified the presence of an old sandstone field boundary crossing three trenches. The boundary is depicted on OS 1st Edition maps of 1873.
