EHG5160 - Watching Brief - Urquhart Castle

A watching brief was maintained during works to widen the path leading to the jetty. Erosion had been caused either side of the path by visitors waiting to board the frequent boat services. The proposed work would see the path widened by 2m on the south side and 1m on the north side to a maximum depth of 175mm. Little of archaeological note was revealed, although a small fragment of incised sandstone was found with what may have been a crudely-carved number or letter visible, date unknown, but thought to have been introduced with imported landscaping material. <1>
