Description
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken by AOC Archaeology Group in 2024 with regards the proposed replacement bridge at A836 Naver Bridge, Invernaver, Bettyhill. Machine excavation was monitored during July-August 2024 for topsoil clearance ahead of construction of the site compound. While much of the compound site had been disturbed by modern dumping of material, the truncated remains of four prehistoric features were uncovered alongside several struck flint flakes. In addition, detailed recording was undertaken of a possible still site that was situated adjacent to a small stream course within the development area. The site had been identified during a previous phase of archaeological work (see EHG6262). <1>
