Full Description
Trial trenching was undertaken in May 1995 prior to development of the former Macrae & Dick garage site, King Street, Nairn, which lies within the medieval centre of town. Nineteen trenches were opened, revealing the foundations of a stable block and outbuildings, laid into natural dune-sand. The site was levelled in the 1950s, truncating any pre-existing features. Artefact evidence coincides with evidence from deeds giving a date of 1798 for the earliest recorded development of the site. A watching brief was conducted in July 1995 during the laying of foundations and revealed nothing more of archaeological significance.
