Excavation (22 October 2007 - 24 October 2007)
NN 9955 5155 As part of the A9 Ballinluig Junction Improvements, an access road to Cuil-an-Duin was to be
upgraded. Part of this access road follows an old alignment of the A9, which was suspected to follow the line of the Wade Road to Inverness, constructed between 1728 and 1730. During October 2007 three trenches were excavated. Two of these recorded two phases of road construction, with a single phase being recorded
in the third. All were undated but appeared modern. No deposits equating to the type of construction used by General Wade were recorded.
Report deposited with Perth and Kinross Heritage Trust and RCAHMS.
