EHG6076 - Excavation - installation of fencing, Hilton of Cadboll

An excavation was carried out by Kirkdale Archaeology in 2007 at Hilton of Cadboll Chapel under the terms of its call‐off contract with Historic Scotland to allow the installation of c.200m of rabbit-proof fencing along the line of the existing fence. A 0.4 m deep, 0.5 m wide trench was dug along the outside of the east and west sides of the perimeter fence. Flooding along the north and south sides prevented excavation. Several possible graves were seen, with disarticulated human remains. Potentially early features were partially revealed, sealed beneath what appeared to be landscaping. On the west side this landscaping contained notably frequent pottery sherds of no later than medieval date. <1>
