EHG5975 - Trial trenching - new house plot, Grantfield Croft, Tain

A programme of archaeological evaluation trenching was undertaken by Highland Archaeology Services in 2022 at the site of an abandoned rural settlement at Grantfield Croft, Tain in advance of the development of a new house. During the evaluation five trenches were opened, three of which targeted the known post-medieval structures on site that had been identified for the planning condition. No other archaeological features were found in the other two trenches in the development area, with the exception of a rubble filled drain. The structures were characterised and recorded and due to the lack of other features noted during the work no further archaeological work was recommended. <1>
