Description
An ongoing archaeological watching brief was undertaken during the construction of towers and temporary haul roads as part of the major development of the electricity substation and associated infrastruture at Knocknagael, Inverness. The construction of a temporary haul road linking Towers 404R, 402R and 40AR was monitored between May and September 2010. Two poorly-defined low mounds of loose stone were identified, probably representing modern field clearance. No finds or diagnostic features were noted and there were no other features or finds of archaeological significance. <1><2>
