Full Description

Observations of contractor's excavations for new shop foundations located up to 1.15m of archaeological deposit above natural sand. Medieval occupation represented by clay floors and pits was recovered overlying a clean yellow sand which sealed an old ground surface. This sand may represent a water-borne tsunami deposit of mesolithic date. This deposit was previously recognised at excavations in Castle Street, Inverness in 1979. <1>
