NH 6682 4527 A programme of building recording was undertaken prior to and during demolition work, and a watching brief was undertaken between October 2003 and April 2004 as part of a redevelopment of three properties in the Eastgate (NH64NE 508 and NH64NE 509 ).
Work revealed that two of the buildings dated from the late 18th century and were altered in the mid-19th century, one becoming a bakery. All the buildings had seen alterations until the present day. No earlier deposits or features were revealed, possibly due to both the 18th-century and later buildings having cellars and having been built into the natural hillside.
Full report lodged with Highland SMR and the NMRS.
