Archaeological Evaluation (January 2022)
NH 68260 44500 An evaluation was carried out of a green field site, at Drakies House, Culcabock Avenue, Inverness, in January 2022, ahead of a proposed housing development. The subsequent development will involve the construction of 24 residential units and associated works on land within the grounds of Drakies House. The evaluation area comprises the area to the NE of Drakies House. The southern part of the development area has been subjected to a previous phase of work. The evaluation comprised the excavation of 19 trenches equal to 1,563m2 with an additional 1,304m excavated to determine the extents of archaeology present. Archaeological features were found in seven trenches, including pits, postholes and a ditch. A boundary ditch and line of postholes identified near the centre of the evaluation area are thought to be of post-medieval date. Only a small assemblage of finds were recovered during the evaluation, therefore the majority of features are of unknown date.
