EHG5470 - Building recording - Drummondhill, Inverness

A programme of archaeological work was carried out by Headland Archaeology in 2017 at a proposed development site located at Drummondhill, Stratherrick Road, Inverness and comprised historic building recording and a trial trench evaluation (see EHG5471 for the latter). The HBR element involved a Level 2 HBR survey of the two listed properties on site, the late 19th century villa and lodge, with a photographic and written record of the five remaining upstanding buildings. The survey revealed that the external facades of the villa and lodge had not been altered signicantly from their original design, having been constructed circa 1886. In contrast to this, the internal elements of both buildings had been altered and modernised throughout. <1>
