Abstract/Summary
Archaeological assessment of the proposed line of the Inverness Southern Distributor Road led to the excavation of two cropmark sites. Neither of these sites, the Hilton 'pit alignments' and the Glendruidh 'timber halls or enclosures', was located by excavation. It is concluded that the pit alignment cropmark could be the product of recent agricultural activity, but the cause of the Glendruidh cropmark, and therefore the existence of the timber halls or enclosures, remains uncertain. The excavation was arranged by Historic Scotland and funded by Highland Regional Council Roads Division.
