EHG6173 - Watching brief - new house plot, Gaza, Portmahomack

An archaeological watching brief was undertaken by Avon Archaeology (Highland) in 2023 during preliminary groundworks for a new dwelling and access at a site located 20m south of Hillview, Back Street, Gaza, Portmahomack. Fieldwork recorded a uniform and simple sequence of deposits across the deveopment area, comprising humic topsoil of varying depth with common deposits of modern rubbish overlying an undisturbed natural sand substrate. The site was archaeologically sterile - no significant archaeological deposits, features or finds were revealed and no further archaeological mitigation was recommended. <1>
