EHG5471 - Trial trenching - 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 (see EHG5470) and a trial trench evaluation. Two areas to the south of the villa were targeted and seven trenches amounting to 350m² were excavated down to the geological subsoil. A cobble-filled soak-away pit and a rough stone path were encountered, both of which were likely to relate to the development of the villa and lodge circa 1886. No features or artefacts relating to earlier occupation of the site were identified. <1>
