Abstract:		 Trial trenching evaluation was undertaken in advance of site clearance for construction of offices at North Kessock, Inverness, in response to a request from the planning authority. Although Iron Age features have been recorded from areas adjoining this site, no significant archaeology was found. However the site had been considerably disturbed when the adjoining road system and A9 junction were constructed and also used for a contractor's site compound during construction of nearby houses. In some areas, the former topsoil had been stripped in the past and a considerable depth of excavated material had been deposited over the top. It was therefore not possible to obtain a clear indication of what if anything might survive generally within the site area as a whole. A watching brief on site stripping is recommended to identify and record any surviving archaeological features or artefacts
