Abstract:		 A programme of field survey was carried out along the proposed route of the A6 Great Glen Bypass. A previous archaeological assessment had identified areas of medieval landscape which would be destroyed by the bypass and areas of unknown archaeological potential which required further investigation. The aim of the survey was to record the areas of relic landscape, and to identify any recommendations for further fieldwork ahead of the construction of the bypass. The field survey included fieldwalking, earthwork survey, air photograph interpretation, geophysical survey and auger survey. The surveys identified five fields requiring further investigation by trial trenching, focusing on potential medieval remains in the area around the Shrunken Village of Great Glen, possible archaeological features identified by geophyscial survey and the recovery of Iron Age and roman pot sherds in some fields. Auger transects across the floodplains of the River Sence and Burton Brook did not produce any archaeological evidence. [Au(abr)]
