Abstract

This report represents the interim results of an

archaeological excavation undertaken by AOC

Archaeology Group at East Beechwood Farm,

Inverness, Highland. The excavation was

commissioned by Highlands & Islands Enterprise.

The work was carried out between April and June

2011 and was conducted according to the terms of a

Written Scheme of Investigation (AOC 2010) which

was agreed by HCHET.

The excavation revealed numerous settlement

features of archaeological significance including

several Bronze Age / Iron Age roundhouse and

enclosure structures local across the development

area together with evidence of Neolithic settlement in

the northern part of the development area.

As required by Highland Council, a post-excavation

research design (PERD) specifying an appropriate

programme of post-excavation works (to be approved

by HCHET) will be prepared compliant with Scottish

Planning Policy (2010) and PAN 42 (1994). The post-

excavation analyses will then be undertaken

culminating in a final report fit for publication in an

academic journal.



1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Development Background

1.1.1 A programme of archaeological works was required by Turner & Townsend on behalf of

Highlands & Islands Enterprise with respect to a proposed mixed development at East

Beechwood, Inverness. The development area consists of a greenfield site covering

approximately 28 ha lying within the administrative area of Highland Council, which is advised on

archaeological matters by Highland Council Heritage Environment Team (HCHET). The scope

and scale of the archaeological works, in keeping with the policies outlined in Scottish Planning

Policy (February 2010) and Planning Advice Note 42 (1994), were determined by HCHET

(Specification dated 2nd

March 2010). This work was designed to excavate and record any

archaeological remains present within the development area.

1.1.2 A programme of historic building recording, a Level 2 historic building survey on Beechwood

Farm (NMRS NH64SE232), ran concurrently with the evaluation. This work was subject to a

separate report (AOC 2010a).

1.2 Site Location

1.2.1 The excavation areas lay within East Beechwood Farm, Inverness, Highland (centred NH 6903

4506; Figure 1). The A9 lies to the west of the development area with a railway to the north-east

and open ground to the south. The current land-use is a mixture of arable and silage fields

crossed by a burn running east to west across the development site.

1.3 Archaeological Background 1.3.1 The proposed development area has provided extensive evidence of prehistoric activities. Three

burnt mounds (MHG29238 & NMRS NH64NE 625) as well as cropmarks indicating pit circles

(MHG3683, Scheduled Ancient Monument 11535) and a ring-ditch (MHG3740, Scheduled

Ancient Monument 11535) have been identified within the proposed development area.

Additionally flakes and scrapers (MHG3674) have been recovered from within the developments

boundaries. A further set of cropmarks including a linear feature, a pit and a pit circle

(MHG3059) are located on the western boundary of the site (AOC 2008).

The extensiveness of the prehistoric settlement in the area is further indicated by identification

of several sites within the 500 metres of development area. These include seven ring ditches

(MHG24763, NMRS NH64NE40), ring groove roundhouses (NMRS NH64NE 15), an enclosure,

a pit alignment, Bronze Age cemetery and large sub-circular feature (NMRS NH64NE40), a

possible barrow and enclosure (NMRS NH74NW 112), a cairn (NMRS NH54NE 6), several

microliths and pits (NMRS NH64SE 246 & NMRS NH74NW 114) and flint scrapers and cores

(NMRS NH64SE 47 & NMRS NH64NE 106). Raigmore Cairn (NMRS NH64SE 47) was

originally located east of the proposed development area. Further hut circles may also have lain

just south-east of the proposed development area (NMRS NH74SW 12).

1.3.2 Cartographic evidence has indicated that the site has been in agricultural use throughout the

post-medieval and modern periods. A new farmhouse was constructed at Beechwood in 1904

and small settlement clusters in the surrounding area developed during the latter half of the 20th

century. Inverness has rapidly expanded east towards the site during the last 50 years (ibid).



1.4 Prior evaluation works

1.4.1 2009 Evaluation trenching

In January 2009 an archaeological evaluation (the first stage of evaluation of the East

Beechwood development area) was undertaken on two land parcels lying to the north (NGR:

NH 6894 4538) and south-west (NGR: NH 6913 4463) of the current evaluation area. This work

revealed features of archaeological significance within the northern land parcel (the area to the

south-west proving archaeologically sterile) including several linear ditches of unknown date, a

large enclosure ditch and terminus of probable prehistoric date and a variety of pit and posthole

features. Artefacts recovered from the pit features included a single flint flake and prehistoric

pottery sherds including Neolithic Grooved Ware. A large quantity of impressed daub was

revealed within the ditch terminus (AOC 2009).

The 2009 evaluation indicated that significant archaeological features survived on higher ground

with the clusters of posthole features and ditch suggesting Late Bronze Age / Iron Age

settlement comprising a ditched enclosure and timber post-built structures. The presence of

Grooved Ware may denote on-site Neolithic activity dating to the end of the fourth Millennium

BC. Similar Neolithic activity has previously been recorded at the nearby site at Milton of Leys

(MacSween 2003). The presence of phased archaeology, as illustrated by the inter-cutting of

features, and the multi-period archaeological landscape in the immediate environs suggests the

evidence unearthed by the evaluation probably represents a palimpsest of superimposed

archaeological features from different periods.

1.4.2 2010 Geophysical Survey

A geophysical survey (3 ha of fluxgate gradiometry) of the development area undertaken in

August 2010 was heavily constrained by standing crops (ASDU 2010). The survey proved

inconclusive with a few very weak anomalies possibly reflecting the presence of shallow ditches.

Elsewhere more intense anomalies could suggest burnt materials. Crucially, the inability to carry

out the full 40% geophysical survey sample (8 ha) led to the requirement for an 8% sample

evaluation trenching sample rather than the original 5% sample deemed necessary in the

specification for the evaluation works prepared by HCHET.

1.4.3 2010 Evaluation trenching

The main phase of archaeological evaluation was undertaken in October 2010, and covered all

areas of the site not previously evaluated by the 2009 evaluation programme. This evaluation

indicated that significant archaeological features exist within parts of the development area. As

with the 2009 evaluation, clusters of posthole features are suggestive of Bronze Age / Iron Age

later prehistoric settlement comprising timber post-built structures (AOC 2010) and associated

Pits and industrial activity.

2 OBJECTIVES

2.1 The objectives of the archaeological works were:

i. the identification, excavation, soil sampling and recording of all significant archaeological

features within the identified zone of archaeological importance;



ii. the retrieval of a representative artefact assemblage;

iii. upon conclusion of the excavation, prepare a post-excavation research design (PERD) to

be agreed with HCHET on behalf of Highland Council. This work will begin with an

assessment stage, to establish the potential of the materials (soil samples & all artefact

categories) recovered from the excavation. This assessment stage will be used to

determine the scope and appropriateness of the post-excavation analyses to be

employed to address issues arising from the excavation. The PERD will be pertinent to

the quantity, quality, character, date and condition of retrieved small finds and soil

samples when considered against the series of research questions raised by the

excavated features;

iv. the post-excavation analysis of recovered material;

v. publication of results of the excavations bringing the findings into the public and

academic domain;

3 METHOD 3.1 Topsoil was stripped to natural subsoil or first significant archaeological horizon, in 23 areas

(Figure 2). Each area was located at the locus of significant archaeological discovery as

determined by the evaluation (AOC 2010). The archaeological features within each area were

then subject to formal archaeological excavation and recording. Large scale excavation areas

were opened in six locations where concentrations of archaeological features were found in

adjacent evaluation trenches. In areas where evaluation trenching exposed a more generally

dispersed suite of features located within individual trenches a 20 m square (400 m2) excavation

box (17 in number and predominately in the eastern part of the development site) was centred

over these features.

4.2.2 Overburden was reduced by 360

O tracked mechanical excavator using a toothless ditching

bucket. All machine excavated ground reduction was supervised by a professional field

archaeologist. Following surface cleaning and identification of features the excavation process

involved:

the excavation of posthole, pit and structural elements comprising the removal of 100% of

archaeological sediment by hand;

large linear features were subject to excavation by hand sufficient (minimum 20%) to

characterize their significance, form, function, condition and date at the same time retrieving a

fully representative artefact/ecofact assemblage;

isolated, non-structural features were subject to a minimum of 50% hand excavation. If

artefactual material was present within a specific feature, the feature was 100% excavated by

hand;

Standard palaeoenvironmental samples (20 litres) were recovered from every significant

soil context. A routine soil sample (for soil chemistry) was retrieved from all significant sediment

contexts.



4. RESULTS

4.1 Introduction

4.1.1 The archaeological excavation was undertaken between 18th of April and 17

th June 2011 and

consisted of the topsoil stripping of 23 box areas based on the findings of two previous

evaluations (AOC 2009, 2010) (Figure 2). Overall, weather conditions were generally fair and

good archaeological visibility was present throughout the entire excavation. .A total of 12 post-

ring roundhouse structures as well as rectilinear post structures and a palisade were unearthed.

In addition numerous pit groupings and isolated pits and postholes were recorded. The finds

assemblage obtained comprises Later Neolithic and Iron Age ceramics, evidence of later

prehistoric metal-working in the form of metallic waste along with saddle-quern fragments and

other coarse stone artefacts. The following should be read in conjunction with the data

presented in Appendices 1-5, Figures 2-14 and Plates 1-3.

4.2 Area A

4.2.1 Introduction

Area A (Figure 3) contained several discrete groups of features including two four-poster

structures (Structures 14 and 15) and Structure 12. Elsewhere localised clusters of pits and

postholes, of greater or lesser densities, probably represent the remains of structural forms less

immediately recognisable in plan. This may be due either to their complexity or because they

represent a series of chronologically discrete features juxtaposed within a palimpsest.

4.2.2 Structure 12

Structure 12 was evident as a dense collection of small postholes and larger pit features forming

an oval ground plan measuring approximately 10 m north to south by 7 m east to west. Pit

Grouping 2 formed an arc to the south of Structure 12.

4.2.3 Structure 14

Structure 14 comprised an isolated four-poster structure consisting of postholes [3291], [3293],

[3295] and [3297]. Square on plan with approximately 3.2 m long sides, the steep sided

postholes were roughly 0.5 m to 0.6 m in diameter with the various fills containing packing

stones.

4.2.4 Structure 15

Structure 15 was a four-poster structure formed by postholes [3237], [3231], [3233] and [3235].

Square on plan with approximately 3.0 m long sides, the steep sided postholes were roughly 0.4

m diameter, and as with Structure 14, contained packing stones. A dense cluster of pits and

postholes (Pit Grouping 1) lay immediately to the south of Structure 15 (see below).

4.2.5 The Pit Groupings

Six discrete pit groupings lay within Area A. Pit Grouping 5 and 6 to the north were less dense

with proportionately more large pit features. Pit Grouping 3, like Pit Grouping 1 had greater

concentrations of features. As noted above there may be some relationship between Structure

12 and Pit Group 2 and similarly between Structure 15 and Pit Grouping 1. Pit Grouping 4 was

the smallest with only seven features, however features [3124], 3126], [3128] and [3130] and a

more diffuse spread of features to the south denote further less intense areas of activity.



4.3 Area B

4.3.1 Four isolated pit features were recorded within Area B [2815], [2817], [2819] and {2821] (Figure

4). These features were all circular in shape and appeared truncated. All exhibited steeply

sloping sides and rounded bases with an average diameter of 0.50 m. No small finds were

recovered.

4.4 Areas C, D & E

4.4.1 Neither features nor unstratified artefacts were revealed within these areas.

4.5 Area F

4.5.1 Introduction

Area F contained a substantial post-ring roundhouse structure (Structure 9) together with

several pit groupings.

4.5.2 Structure 9

This substantial structure had a post-ring some 9 m in diameter and was composed of twelve

large circular postholes [2247], [2249], [2277], [2294], [2296], [2298], [2300], [2330], [2348],

[2342], and [2341]. These features were on average 0.70 m in diameter with steep sides to

concave bases. Many of the features had obvious packing stones. A four post porch

arrangement [2314], [2316], [2322] and [2320] was situated to the south-east. These postholes

were of similar form to those of the post-ring. The porch was 4.5 m in length and 2.5 m in width.

A large pit/posthole [2318], 1 m in diameter, was situated at the north-east of the porch close to

Posthole [2320]. A supporting posthole, [2312], was placed to the immediate south of Posthole

[2314]. Nineteen circular postholes [2368], [2386], [2394], [2396], [2398], [2404], [2406], [2408],

[2421], [2346], [2400], [2392], [2348], [2376], [2384], [2385], [2384], [2338] and [2340] were

clustered within the north-east corner of the structure. These ranged from 0.30 m to 0.70 m in

diameter. Two other small Postholes [2310] and [2372] were within the structure.

4.5.3 Pit Groupings

Six metres to the northeast of Structure 9 lay six circular pits [2462], [2410], [2357], [2419],

[2355] and [2353]. These pits had an average diameter of 1 m and contained ceramic sherds of

later prehistoric date (Appendix 5).

A north-south linear spread of pits and postholes [2425], [2280], [2282], [2288], [2306], [2328],

[2334], [2336], [2350], [2361], [2332], [2308], [2326], [2363], [2412], [2414], [2367], [2369],

[2350] and [2365] was recorded towards the east of Area F,

A similar cluster of pits and postholes [2253], [2255], [2292], [2286], [2324], [2257], [2284],

[2259], [2261], [2263], [2265] and [2268] was located to the south of the excavated area.

A group of 7, more isolated, features was located running east-west to the south of Structure 9:

these comprised pits and postholes [2243], [2245], [2239], [2269], [2275] [2273] and [2271].



4.6 Area G

4.6.1 Introduction

This area contained two post-ring roundhouses (Structures 7 & 8) each with simple porch

arrangements. In addition several isolated linear and pit features were recorded.

4.6.2 Structure 7

The roundhouse’s post-ring was 7.5 m in diameter and consisted of 11 circular postholes

regularly spaced at 1 m intervals [2133], [2170], [2164], [2160], [2155], [2163], [2172], [2129],

2141], [2176], [2137]. A simple two-post porch arrangement [2143] and [2174] was located on

the east of the roundhouse. The porch was approximately 2 m in length and the postholes were

some 2 m apart. Five internal features [2121], [2131], [2145], [2139] and [2135] were excavated

within the north-eastern portion of the structure.

4.6.3 Structure 8

The post-ring for this roundhouse was 9.7 min diameter and consisted of 9 surviving circular

postholes [2221], [2200], [2213], [2211], [2204], [2206], [2215], [2217] and [2209]. As with

Structure 7, a simple two-post porch arrangement [2227] and [2229] was located on the east of

the roundhouse. The porch was approximately 2.8 m in length and the postholes were roughly

2 m apart. Five small pit or posthole features, [2231]. 2225], [2223], [2219], and [2202] were

situated approximately 8 m to the north-east of the roundhouse.

4.6.4 Linears, pits & Postholes

Four linear features [2184], [2166], [2182] and [2168] were located to the east of Structure 7.

These ranged from 2.5 m to 7.5 m in length and had widths ranging from 0.40 m to 1.5 m. All

were roughly aligned north to south. A small number of scattered pits and postholes [2147],

[2149], [2151], [2153], [2123], [2125], [2127], [2180], [2194], [2192] were observed scattered

around the area of Structure 7. These ranged from 0.25 m to 0.70 m in diameter.

4.7 Area H

4.7.1 Introduction

This area contained two truncated roundhouses (Structures 5 & 6) together with numerous

isolated pit and posthole features.

4.7.2 Structure 5

The ring-ditch roundhouse possessed a post-ring roughly 6.5 m in diameter (Figure 7). Seven

postholes survived [2059], [2061], [2063], [2057], [2055], [2043], [2067] together with a

fragment of associated ring-ditch [2053] to the north. Three features lay within the interior of

Structure 5, pit [2069] and postholes [2047] and [2049]. Six small pits or postholes [2041],

[2077], [2039] ,[2035], [2037] and [2051, were situated to the east with large pit [2065] to the

west and further more distant pits [2029], [2031], [2027] and [2025] to the north.

4.7.3 Structure 6

This possible structure (Figure 7) was truncated by a water pipe (Pit [2019] also appeared

modern with a further modern intrusion to the south-east] and its form was not fully exposed.

Perhaps originally a roundhouse it survived as a series of post-holes [2001], [2003], [2005],

[2007], [2009], [2011], [2013], [2017], [2021], [2023], [2079] [2081], [2089] and [2083]. Posthole

[2091] lay within [2015] a large sub-rectangular pit, or possibly conjoined pits, located to the north.



4.7.4 Pit and posthole features.

Roughly 20 m to the east of Structure 6 lay a dispersed suite of posthole and pit features:

[2215], [2111], [2113], [2109], [2099], [2095], [2093], [2107], [2073], [2097] [2071 and [2069].

4.8 Area I

4.8.1 Introduction

A total of 191 archaeological cut features were revealed through the stripping of Area I. Five

substantial structures were recorded within this area. These consisted of two large post-ring

roundhouses with porch arrangements (Structures 1 & 2), a ‘four poster’ (Structure 3) and a

timber palisade (Structure 4) . Within Structure 4 were numerous pits and postholes which may

form further structural elements. These ran into the northern edge of the excavation area. Area I

was separated from Area H by a tree-lined path. The features within Area H are almost certainly

a continuation of the features within Area I. In addition to the structures, numerous associated

pit/posthole groupings and isolated features were recorded.

4.8.2 Structure 1 (roundhouse)

This roundhouse survived as a post-ring of 14 large postholes [1177], [1185], [1205], [1207],

[1307], [1305], [1203], [1199], [1197], [1195], [1193], [1299], [1297] and [1293] placed

approximately 1.5 m apart. These were generally consistent in form with steeply sloping sides to

concave bases. Posthole [1199] appears to have been a replacement for Posthole [1203]. The

postholes had an average diameter of 0.60 m with large packing stones evident in many. A

porch arrangement of two similar uniform postholes [1107] and [1109] was lay 4 m to the north-

east of the post-ring. These two porch posts were set 2 m apart.

Within the post-ring were 10 features including four pits [1191], [1257], [1309] and [1295], a

large double posthole [1181-1219] with replacement scar and four smaller postholes {1303],

[1201], [1189], [1187]. These latter features were on average 0.30 m in diameter. Posthole

[1303] was situated close to the post-ring feature [1305] and may have acted as a supporting

post.

Structure 1 appears to cut the Palisade (Structure 4). Though no surviving features directly

interact, it would seem that the post-ring feature [1299] and Pit [1295] have eradicated certain

palisade features creating a hiatus in Structure 4.

4.8.3 Structure 2 (post-ring roundhouse)

This roundhouse was situated to the southeast of the Palisade (Structure 4). It had a post-ring

diameter of 7 m and was composed of 13 large Postholes [1253], [1261], [1265], [1263], [1271],

[1273], [1275], [1277], [1279], [1245], [1247], [1249] and [1251] placed roughly 1.0 m apart.

These postholes were on average 0.70 m in diameter and had steep sides and concave bases.

Several possessed obvious post-pipes visible in section. A four-post porch arrangement [1315] -

[1317] & [1311] - [1313] extended 3.20 m to the east of the post-ring. The porch postholes were

paired 0.30 m apart and formed an entrance 2.0 m wide (Figure 8).

The internal features of Structure 2 were restricted to a single large Pit [1384] cut by the post-

ring posthole [1279]. Four small posthole features [1267], [1269], [1259] and [1327] were

evident. These small postholes averaged 0.25 m in diameter with an average depth of 0.20 m.

Posthole [1327] abuts the post-ring Posthole [1261] and is a probable support. Possibly a



similar supporting post [1329] is situated to the exterior of the post-ring Posthole [1271]. A large

Pit [1243] also lay to the north post-ring.

4.8.4 Structure 3 (Four-Poster)

This square four-poster with 2.25 m sides was situated roughly 7 m to the immediate west of

Structure 2 (Figure 8). It comprised four postholes [1281], [1335], [1285] and [1283], each

approximately 0.5 m in diameter, situated 2 m apart (Figure 8).

4.8.5 Structure 4 (Palisade)

The Palisade consisted of 30 individual postholes [1137], [1173], [1291], [1171], [1169], [1167],

[1165], [1163], [1161], [1159], [1289], [1157], [1155], [1287], [1153], [1151], [1149], [1147],

[1145], [1143], [1141], [1121], [1123], [1125], [1127], [1129], [1131], [1133], [1319] and [1321]

The palisade arced south to west from the northern edge of the excavation area for a distance

of approximately 22 m. The postholes were fairly uniform in shape with an average diameter of

0.30 m. Structure 4 was truncated to the east by a roundhouse (Structure 1). A further gap of 2

m was observed between Postholes [1141] and [1121]. A second gap 1.50 m wide lay between

postholes [1133] and [1319]. Whether these gaps were intentional or the result of differential

preservation is unclear. Structure 4 fades towards the west. It would appear from Figures 7 & 8

that the palisade should appear within Area H; however, no trace of could be discerned.

4.8.6 Pits/Posts within Palisade (Structure 4)

Within the arc of the palisade were various pit and posthole features (Figure 8). These varied

greatly in size and shape, ranging from large circular pits such as feature [1121] which was 1 m

in diameter to small postholes such as [1133] only 0.20 m in diameter. Many of the postholes

especially towards the north-western edge of excavation were more substantial both in size and

depth, suggesting, perhaps the presence of significant structures. More work involving the

phasing and grouping of these features will be needed. Fragments of iron slag were recovered

from these features suggesting that metalworking may have been an activity related to at least

some of the structural elements within the Palisade.

4.8.7 Pit/Posthole Grouping

An extensive suite of pits or large postholes lay to the west of Structures 3 and 4 (Figure 8).

Their overall ground plan provides a range of possible structural forms, although none are

immediately unambiguous. The larger pits to the south-west probably denote activity areas

while the smaller, more tightly clustered, features in the north to the west of Structure 4, most

likely represent more structural remains requiring further interrogation during post-excavation

works.

4.9 Area J

4.9.1 No further features were revealed beyond those investigated during the archaeological

evaluation (AOC 2010).

4.10 Area K

4.10.1 A total of 51 cut features were recorded within Area K (Figure 9). The features were tightly

clustered and probably represent the remains of several prehistoric structures. The most

recognisable patterning showed a partial post-ring roundhouse (Structure 17) approximately 7 m

in diameter. The eleven postholes [6051], [6077], [6045], [6043], [6069], [6041], [6035], [6015],



[6025], [6031] and [6006] form a partial arc. The individual postholes were circular in plan and

had an average diameter of 0.40 m. Within this arc were a number of similar sized postholes

[6037], [6039], [6003], [6011], [6023], [6013], [6005], and [6007]. Three larger pit features

[6075], [6009] and [6079] were also located within the arc. The features located towards the

east of this structure tended to be slightly larger in plan, with the pits [6061], [6063], [6059],

[6083], [6085] having a diameter of 1 m. The oval pits [6053] and [6095] were larger still being 2

m in length with widths of 1.5 m and 0.7 m respectively.

4.11 Area L

4.11.1 No features were recorded within this area.

4.12 Area M

4.12.1 Introduction

Area M contained a post-built rectilinear structure (Structure 16) (Figure 10). In addition

numerous pits and postholes were spread across the area. These included a probable oven

[6157].

4.12.2 Structure 16

This rectilinear structure comprised six sets of paired postholes [6217]-[6221], [6215]-[6223],

[6175]-[6225], [6173]-[6227/6196], [6194]-[6167/6229] & [6192]-[6161/6163] generally spaced

at roughly 2 m intervals. In addition single postholes [6219] and [6235] were located at either

end of the structure. The structure was 11 m in length and 3.5 m in wide. The postholes were

0.40 m in diameter.

4.12.3 Pits, Postholes & Oven

Small groupings of features were spread across the western portion of the area. These

consisted of circular and oval pits and postholes with the exception of the probable

oven/furnace [6157]. This feature was roughly pear-shaped measuring 1.84 m by 1.10 m by a

maximum of 0.41 m deep. Several individual burning episodes were evident.

4.13 Area N

4.13.1 A single truncated circular pit [6248] was recorded within Area N (Figure 9). This was 0.78 m in

diameter with a depth of only 0.09 m. The pit had moderately inward sloping sides to a concave

base.

4.14 Area O

4.14.1 Four large circular pits [6107], [6109], [6111] and [6113] were excavated in Area O (Figure 11).

These ranged from 0.70 m to 1.50 m in diameter.

4.15 Area P

4.15.1 Two large, truncated circular pits were excavated within Area P. Pit [6242] was 1.20 m in

diameter and Pit [6244] 0.78 m in diameter (Figure 11). Both features were 0.15 m in depth and

had moderately inward sloping sides to a concave base.



4.16 Area Q

4.16.1 Eight truncated pit/posthole features [6199], [6201], [6203], [6205], [6207], [6209], [6211] and

[6213] were located within Area Q (Figure 11). With the exception of Pit [6201] which was sub-

rectangular, the features were all circular or sub-circular in plan. The pits/postholes ranged in

diameter from 0.30 m to 1.20 m and had depths ranging from 0.06 m to 0.25 m. No structural

form was immediately apparent.

4.17 Area R

4.17.1 Area R contained six large oval pits [9001], [9003], [9005], [9011], [9015] and [9013] (Figure

12). In addition a right-angled linear cut feature [9007] was excavated. The oval pits ranged

between 0.54 m to 2.10 m in length with a width between 0.73 m and 1.64 m. The pits had

steep almost vertical sides and uneven, rounded bases. Many of the pit fills contained modern

ceramics and it is likely that the pits are of recent date. Linear [9007] was ‘L-shaped in plan with

vertically sloping sides and a rounded base and was cut by a modern drainage feature.

4.18 Area S

4.18.1 Three features were recorded within Area S (Figure 12). These consisted of two circular

postholes [9017] and [9021] and a large oval pit [9019]. The postholes were 0.36 m and 0.54 m

in diameter and had depths of 0.39 m and 0.22 m respectively. Both features had steeply

sloping sides and rounded bases. Pit [9019] was 2.39 m in length with a width of 0.70 m and a

depth of 0.23 m.

4.19 Area T

4.19.1 A single truncated Posthole [9026] was located within Area T (Figure 12). This was circular in

plan with a diameter of 0.38 m and a depth of 0.13 m.

4.20 Area U

4.20.1 Seven features were recorded within Area U. These consisted of the three oval pits [12000].

[12012] and [12004] and the three pit/postholes [12002], [2008] and [12006] (Figure 13). A

further feature had also been identified during the evaluation phase.

4.21 Area V

4.21.1 This area contained circular pit [12014] and the oval pit [12017] (Figure 13). The former feature

was 0.90 m in diameter and contained sherds of undecorated prehistoric ceramics (SF 36).

4.22 Area X

4.22.1 Introduction

Features revealed in Area X included two roundhouse structures (Structures 10 & 11) with

contiguous clusters of pits and postholes occupying the north-western part of the area (Figure

14).



4.22.2 Structure 10

This roundhouse was situated some 9 m to the south of the larger roundhouse (Structure 11). It

had a post-ring diameter of 7 m and was composed of 12 Postholes [2747], [2749], [2751],

[2608], [2786], [2788], [2790], [2792], [2674], [2672], [2684] and [2698] (Figure 14).

4.22.3 Structure 11

This poorly preserved large roundhouse had a diameter of approximately 13.20 m. An entrance

lay to the south-east. The entrance was formed by slots [2596] and [2660] which terminated in

outer double postholes {2654] and [2611/2594]. Remnants of a ring-groove survived locally to

either side of the entrance-way. An additional fragment of ring-groove survived to the north as

groove [2640]. A further section [2728] of groove lay to the north-west of the structure, but off

the line of the roundhouse. The interior of Structure 11 contains numerous postholes and pits in

the south and west, with differential preservation perhaps obscuring the original distribution of

the building’s timber up-rights. A large elongated pit [2638] was located in the east of the

interior.

4.22.4 Pits and Postholes

Loose groupings of pits and postholes lay between Structures 10 and 11 and to the south-west

of Structure 10. Further collection of pits and postholes was located to the east and south-east

of Structure 10 (Figure 14).

4.7 Small Finds

4.7.1 As with both evaluations small finds were relatively rare. Iron slag was recovered from several

contexts within Area I and, to a lesser extent, in Areas F and H. Prehistoric pottery sherds were

most commonly found within contexts in Areas A and F (see Appendix 4).

5 DISCUSSION

5.1 This excavation has added an important prehistoric settlement site to the archaeological record

of the Inverness area. Many of the roundhouse structures present are typical of later prehistoric

structures well documented across the northeast of Scotland and which are known to date over

a period from the Middle Bronze Age through to the Late Iron Age. The full relationship,

chronology and functionality of these features on an intra-site and, importantly, inter-site level

[particularly in respect to nearby Culduthel (Murray 2007)] is yet to be fully understood prior to

post-excavation analyses, although iron-working may be evidenced in Area I with slag

recovered from several contexts.

5.2 The 2009 evaluation (AOC 2009) recovered Grooved Ware from trenching within Area A. This

would infer on-site Neolithic activity dating to the end of the fourth Millennium BC based on

evidence from the nearby site at Milton of Leys (MacSween 2003). Further decorated pottery

was recovered by the excavation, notably in pit [3026/27] near Structure 12. The evaluation

report (AOC 2009, 11) commented on the inter-cutting of features and probable multi-phase

palimpsest of features being present in the north of the development area. Area A (Figure 3)

possessed several discrete clusters of features with this clustering in denser concentrations and

including larger numbers of minor feature forms (small postholes). The form, character and

distribution of perhaps most of the features with Area A (leaving aside Structures 14 & 15),

together with the, albeit slight, artefactual data denotes possibly an early period of occupation.



Structures 14 and 15 (four-posters) in all probability relate to later prehistoric activity as broadly

evidenced in excavation areas to the south, however Structure 12 and some pit groupings

(notably Groupings 1 and 3) within Area A are reminiscent of ephemeral Neolithic settlement

activity. Recent research in Scotland has shown that the most frequently encountered form of

Neolithic settlement archaeology is characterised by scatters of slight pits/postholes often

without clear-cut architectural form (Alexander 2000, 65; Noble 2006, 59) and often postulated

to relate to short periods of occupation reflecting a degree of mobility (Atkinson 2002, 184;

Barclay et al 2002, 120). On other Neolithic sites this lack of obvious structural robustness is

juxtaposed with some perceptible architectural plan (rectilinear or circular) with, interestingly in

respect to Structures 14 and 15, associated four-poster structures being found at Beckton Farm,

Lockerbie (Pollard 1997). The rectilinear form (in differing sizes and functions) is widely attested

in the Neolithic (Noble 2006) and Structure 16 (in Area M) may well represent further Neolithic

activity outwith Area A.

6 RECOMMENDATIONS FOR FURTHER WORKS 6.1 This DSR report is both preliminary and provisional, with many issues raised by the excavation

data still to be addressed. In ascertaining a fuller knowledge of the excavation results, a post-

excavation research design will be prepared for approval by the planning authority’s

archaeological advisor, HCHET. This will describe all necessary and appropriate assessment

processes and consequent post-excavation analyses together with publication proposals for the

final report. This report will integrate the stratigraphic, contextual and descriptive data from the

excavation with specialist post-excavation analyses covering dating, palaeoenvironmental and

economic issues, culminating in an article fit for academic publication.

MAIN (NARRATIVE) DESCRIPTION: (May include information from other fields)

A programme of excavation was undertaken following evaluations in

2009 and 2010 and prior to a mixed use development at East

Beechwood Farm, Inverness.

The excavation revealed numerous settlement features of

archaeological significance including several later prehistoric

roundhouses, four-poster structures and a partially surviving palisaded

enclosure. The recovered artefact assemblage was slight but iron

working on the site may be evidenced by the presence of slag.

A disparate suite of features (clusters of pits and small postholes) in the

north of the development area together with the presence of Grooved

Ware evidence indicates prior Neolithic settlement in the northern part of

the development area.

PROPOSED FUTURE WORK: Post excavation analyses & publication
