Archaeology Notes

NH64NE 33 665 454.

In 1830, workmen engaged in constructing a sewer in Church Street, Inverness, found at a depth of fourteen feet below the surface, in a stratum of blue clay, numerous large trunks of fossil oak; and along with these several deer's horns, one of which, bearing unmistakable marks of artificial cutting is now deposited in the Museum of the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland.

D Wilson 1863; Archaeol Scot 1890.
