Archaeology Notes

NH78NE 79 7971 8948

NH 7971 8948 A watching brief was undertaken in February 2002 on the excavation of an area for a lorry yard at Dornoch Abattoir. The site lies close to where previous excavations had revealed medieval industrial activity (DES 1997, 46). No archaeological features or deposits were revealed, the excavation only removing topsoil. Finds include a sherd of medieval redware.

Full report deposited in Highland SMR and the NMRS.
