Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief undertaken during ground investigations ahead of construction of the Inverness West Link Road on the southwest side of Inverness. The watching brief was a requirement from the Highland Council Planning Department during the digging of trial pits along the proposed route in order to check for any archaeological material. The digging of twenty trial pits and inspection pits ahead of four boreholes on the Caledonian Canal (Schedule Monument 6499) were monitored by an archaeologist. No archaeological features were recorded and no archaeological finds were recovered within the trial pits or borehole inspection pits. Fifteen finds of interest were recovered from the ploughsoil from fieldwalking during the watching brief at the southwest end of the route. |
