EHG3705 - Site recording - Barrack room, Fort George, Ardersier

In June 2001 a brick-vaulted barrack room in the north casemated curtain (the seventh from the east end) was recorded Kirkland Archaeology prior to conservation work. Various objects were recorded and retrieved from behind a collapsed length of tongue-and-groove panelling in a casemated barrack room in the curtain wall north of the parade ground in Fort George. The rear of the panelling was partly covered in dirt and various finds that had fallen behind it. These were retrieved in 2m sections, measured from the south end of the panelling. Each of the sections was photographed to show the objects in situ, but their location was not recorded in any more detail. Their importance lies in their reflection of the daily life of the servicemen billeted in the room over many decades. <1> For more detail see <2>
