NO 7489 7637 On the 5th June 2002, an archaeological watching brief was carried out at Pittengardner, Fordoun, Kincardinshire, during the dismantling of an existing electricity pole and the erection of a new pole and the laying of its accompanying length of earth wire as part of the work on the Laurencekirk - St Cyrus 33kv lines. As the pole concerned fell within an area of crop marks indicating the existence of an extensive prehistoric settlement a watching brief was undertaken. The work was observed but no archaeological features or artefacts were evident.
Information from Mr J C Murray, 16 July 2002.
