EHG5799 - Trial trenching - proposed housing development, Druids Temple, Inverness

Archaeological trial trenching was undertaken by Headland Archaeology in 2020 prior to a housing development at Druids Temple, Inshes, Inverness, Highlands. This was subject to a 7% trial trench evaluation equating to 15 trenches across the full extent of the available development area; two trenches had to be dropped due to the presence of services. Geological subsoil was exposed in all trenches and topsoil was 0.4m thick. A single pit of post-medieval date was identified in one trench. No other archaeological features or deposits were identified. An historic building record of surviving parts of former farm buildings was also carried out (see EHG5800). <1>
