Activities

Strip And Record (17 July 2007 - 1 August 2007)

NH 6644 4180 A monitored topsoil strip was conducted from 17 July–1 August 2007 in advance of the construction of a flow control and infiltration basin at Lochardil Burn, Inverness. The ground was under rough grassland adjacent to the Southern Distributor road and lies immediately N of Culduthel Farm, where several large-scale excavations have taken place on significant prehistoric remains.

Sixteen features were noted in the development area; all were shallow plough-truncated pits, likely to be of prehistoric date and associated with the settlement activity at Culduthel to the S.
