Test Pit Survey (19 September 2016 - 16 December 2016)
NH 7366 4598 A programme of archaeological work was carried out, 19 September – 16 December 2016, prior to development on the N edge of the designated Culloden Battlefield. Investigations consisted of a photographic survey of standing buildings, a metal detector survey and watching brief along 450m of new access track, and test pitting. The removal of topsoil from the route of the track revealed five natural or semi-natural features. The test pitting found no evidence of activity prior to modern farming. The poorly sorted nature of the topsoil suggested frequent disturbance, either by cultivation or by vehicle/animal traffic.
