  • A Possible Neolithic Settlement at Milton of Leys, Inverness
    Proc Soc Antiq Scot, 133 (2003), 35–45 A possible Neolithic settlement at Milton of Leys, Inverness Richard Conolly* & Ann MacSween† with contributions by M Hastie&CRWickham-Jones ABSTRACT Excavations by Headland Archaeology identified a cluster of small pits and post-holes at Milton of Leys, Inverness, Highland Council. Neolithic Grooved Ware, including one vessel in the Durrington Walls sub-style, was recovered from several of the features, which appear to be domestic in function. At present, this is the most northerly example of pottery in the Durrington Walls sub-style. Furthermore, radiocarbon dating has determined that this vessel dates to the second half of the fourth millennium , which is one of the earliest dates anywhere in Britain for this style. Milton of Leys is the latest of a number of small Neolithic settlement sites to have been discovered in the Inverness area, where none was previously known. These findings highlight the fact that our picture of the distribution and dating of such pottery and sites reflects accidental discovery during archaeological work and that these sites are very difficult to detect. The project was funded by Tulloch Homes Ltd.

  • 8. People and Communities - Community and Private Assets
    A9 Dualling Northern Section (Dalraddy to Inverness) A9 Dualling Tomatin to Moy Stage 3 Environmental Statement 8. People and Communities - Community and Private Assets 8.1 Introduction 8.1.1 This chapter presents an assessment of the potential change to private property (access, residential and commercial properties), agricultural, sporting and forestry interests, land used by the community, community facilities and public buildings as a result of the Proposed Scheme. The assessment includes any changes to community severance through the separation of residents from facilities and services they use within their community. 8.1.2 Impacts on pedestrians, cyclists and equestrians, paths and land used for recreation are assessed in Chapter 9 (People and Communities: All Travellers). 8.1.3 The chapter is supported by the following appendices, which are cross referenced in the text where relevant: · Appendix A8.1 Agricultural, Forestry and Sporting Interests Questionnaire · Appendix A8.2 Agriculture Sporting and Forestry Assessment – Potential Impacts 8.1.4 The assessment follows the guidelines contained in the Design Manual for Roads and Bridges (DMRB), Volume 11, Section 3, Part 6 Land Usei, and the Community Effects section of the DMRB, Volume 11, Section 3, Part 8ii. DMRB Interim Advice Note (IAN) 125/15iii recommends that Part 6 and all of Part 8 (pedestrians, cyclists, equestrians and community effects) are combined into an assessment on ‘People and Communities’. The assessments for Community and Private Assets and Effects on All Travellers are retained in separate chapters but reported under the same heading of ‘People and Communities’. 8.1.5 There are no proposals for the restoration of waterways in the vicinity of the Proposed Scheme and therefore this has not been considered in the assessment.
