Description
A metal-detecting survey was undertaken by Highland Archaeology Services in 2017 in advance of the erection of an agricultural building on land near Stablehollow, Culloden. The site lies within the designated area of Culloden battlefield. A total of 32 items of metalwork were retained for further analysis; the majority of which were associated with modern agricultural activity. The most significant item recovered was a fragment of powder measure, likely to be related to the 1746 battle of Culloden. <1>
