Abstract: |
Ross and Cromarty Archaeological Services conducted an archaeological watching brief during site clearance for construction of a new camping and caravan site at Foyers, located on the southeastern shore of Loch Ness in Inverness-shire. The watching brief was a requirement of the Highland Council Planning Department prior to development of the site. Twenty-seven features were identified; they include a ditch, a possible fire-pit, remnants of an old ground surface, a spread of stone or remains of field clearance material and a c. mid-1900s animal burial pit. The remaining features comprised scattered pits in the subsoil, most of which remain inconclusive in interpretation. There are no recommendations for further work. |
