Full Description
An undated possible pit (feature 3) was exposed during an evaluation on Manse Road, Kingussie, by RoCAS in 2012. It presented itself as a sub-rectangular possible ‘pit’ in the NW corner of trench 4, about 2m x 1.2m on an N-S alignment (Plate 5 and Figure 10). Pieces of ceramic drain pipe and a brick with mortar attached were recovered from its vicinity; there were flecks of charcoal present in the fill. A section cut through the length of the feature revealed it was only 0.05-0.1m deep suggesting it had been truncated. Its use could not be conclusively established, but it was possibly the basal remains of a rubbish pit. <1>
