Description
An evaluation was carried out in January–March 2008 by Alba Archaeology over 7% of a proposed development site adjacent to Culduthel Road, Inverness. The C19 farm of Lower Slackbuie still stood on the site, though in a modified form. A total of 17 trenches were excavated in two phases which were the 29th-30th January and the 25th-26th March. A basic photographic record was also made of the boarded-up house. A number of the earlier C19 walls of the original farm buildings were uncovered during trenching. No earlier finds or features were recorded. <1>
