Abstract:		 Three fields, in total about 25 acres, proposed for housing development were evaluated by trial trenching for possible archaeological evidence in 2005. 37 large trenches were opened, to provide a sample of over 10% of the whole. The entire area formed part of RAF Alness during the Second World War, and had clearly been disturbed by military activity as well as subsequent site clearance. A scatter of fragmentary artefacts from that period was noted within the topsoil. Beneath this, site clearance had been thorough and the subsoil comprised clean, natural mixed periglacial sands and gravels with some areas of rounded stones. A number of possible features were investigated that proved to be the result of tree roots and animal burrowing, but three areas require further investigation. One of these, though very disturbed, contained a large number of early Bronze Age ritual pottery sherds. Apart from targetted fieldwork to clarify these three areas, no further archaeological fieldwork is proposed.
