EHG6277 - Watching brief - GI test pitting, proposed battery storage facility, Knocknagael

An archaeological watching brief on initial ground investigation (GI) works was undertaken by Highland Archaeology Services in 2024 in advance of the development of a proposed new battery storage facility at Knocknagael, South of Inverness. This was carried out pre-planning in line with best practice. The watching brief took place between February 12th and February 14th 2024 in dry and mainly sunny but cold conditions. Twenty-two GI test pits and one soakaway pit were excavated. No archaeological features were encountered. As such no further post-excavation archaeological work was recommended for the GI phase of the project. <1>
