Trial Trench (12 February 2007 - 23 February 2007)
NH 702 424 A 5% trial trenching evaluation of the site of a proposed housing development was undertaken, with
13 trenches excavated between the 12–23 February 2007. It revealed a large number of modern field drains crossing the site, illustrating its recent agricultural use. Additionally, there was one potential feature of archaeological significance at the NW end of the site in the form of a possible posthole. It was not clear from
the evaluation whether this feature was modern or prehistoric in date.
Archive will be deposited with RCAHMS. Reports will be deposited with RCAHMS and Highland Council SMR.
