Archaeological Evaluation (23 June 2014 - 24 June 2014)
An archaeological evaluation was conducted in June 2014 for new housing and associated services to the Northeast of Wester Drakies Steading, Inverness. The steading (NH 68127 44266) was subject to a photographic survey in December 2009 prior to its demolition in 2010. The evaluation work revealed twenty features of archaeological interest, including a slab-built drain underlying the former steading, thirteen small pits of unknown use though likely to be domestic rubbish dating to the 19th century, and structural remains of former Drakies Farm.
