NH 79763 89722 A programme of archaeological recording was undertaken on the alterations of a chemist shop, opposite the cathedral. Work included a photographic survey prior to alterations and a watching brief as works were undertaken.
Work revealed that the house and shop dated to the early 19th century and had seen alterations in the early and late 20th century. A watching brief on alterations revealed fireplaces, recessed cupboards and features associated with part of the building being a former post office. A limited watching brief for an extension revealed only garden soils to the rear of the building.
Full report lodged with Highland SMR and the NMRS.
