Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was conducted in December 2010 and January 2011 on behalf of Global Construction Ltd during groundworks on the site of the Phase 3 Inverness Flood Relief Channel development. The site was located on the SW side of Inverness in Culduthel, an area with a wealth of archaeological sites, many of which have been uncovered during development in recent years. Twenty-seven features of archaeological interest, including a hearth, pits and evidence for an old ground surface, were identified during the watching brief. Sixteen of these features were located in a discrete area of the site and required one extra week of excavation, the results of which produced pits containing Neolithic pottery (both Early-to-Middle Neolithic-style and Late Neolithic grooved ware) and associated lithics. |
