Full Description
ND35SE 171 3633 5094
ND 3633 5094 Development of this site evaded the usual planning procedures and only a watching brief was possible. The area of the Auction Mart appeared to have beeen built on modern rubble or garden soil dating to the 19th century and these deposits overlay what appeared to be sterile shell sand sloping down to the Wick River. At the N of the area the derelict building at 1 Back Bridge Street was demolished. This lay over post-medieval deposits and garden soil.
