Raigmore Rescue excavation by MickM on Wednesday, 11 October 2006

Rescue excavation in advance of a new junction of the A9 for the Kessock Bridge, Inverness by Derek Simpson in 1972-3, resulted in this kerb of an unusual multi-period cairn being moved 410m south to a new location (Henshall & Ritchie 2001). This is a sad reconstruction of the site, devoid of context and content (only the kerb has been saved) & although it is passed by large numbers of people daily, there is not even a notice board to tell them what the circular stone garden feature actually is.
