EHG1107 - Woodside of Culloden

Stuart Farrell was commissioned by Barratt Construction Ltd in March 2004 to undertake an archaeological evaluation at Woodside, Culloden (centred at NH 716/451) as part of a proposed housing development. Highland Council Archaeology Unit produced a specification for this work. Work revealed no archaeological features or deposits of interest, the only finds made were of some rubble and tile field drains and a couple of tree boles. The lack of archaeological features in the development area is most likely due to the overall site lying on a NW facing slope and that the area was possibly only used for farming since the late 18th / early 19th century.
