A geophysical survey carried out over the areas of 23 trial trenches failed to produce any significant anomalies. No artefacts or features of special significance were retrieved.

NH 685 440 An archaeological watching brief was conducted during topsoil stripping associated with the construction of a retail park development to the SE of central Inverness. Seven features were located within the topsoiled area: six pits and a silty spread. Many of the features appeared to be modern in origin and none contained any artefacts. No significant archaeological deposits or finds were encountered.
A report was lodged with Highland SMR.
