Abstract:		 Alder Archaeology Ltd was commissioned by Scottish and Southern Electricity to undertake a a rapid deskbased assessment followed by a metal detector survey along the route of a powerline development acrosst Inverlochy battlefields by Inverlochy Castle. The survey was required in advance of the erection of a new switchroom at Inverlochy substation and the undergrounding of an overhead cable at Blar Mhor in order to mitigate the potential impact upon the site of two battles (Inverlochy 1431 and 1645). The fieldwork, Alder site code FW02, was undertaken during the period 25th June to 28th June 2012 in mixed weather conditions. The requirement was to survey a 5m wide corridor across the battlefield site, for a distance of approximately 620m. Due to some areas being unsuitable for survey a distance of 510m was actually surveyed. Finds were located by off setting from a base line tape and also by EDM. Abundant small modern finds of cans, bottle tops, ring pulls and small denomination coins were recovered as well as many corroded unidentifiable metal fragments probably from farm machinery and cars. No positively identifiable items from medieval or post-medieval military equipment or weapons were found and nothing of historic interest was identified. No further metal detecting work is required for this development.
