NJ 97901 47675 A geophysical survey was carried out at Old Deer Parish Church and the Glebe, on four days between 8 June and 24 July 2010. The GPR and gradiometry surveys of the interior of the Old Kirk covered 66.5 m², while the GPR survey of the kirkyard and pavement covered 27,855m². The gradiometry survey of the Glebe recreation ground covered 2400m². A previously unrecorded grave and a linear anomaly that may relate to the Old Deer monastic settlement were located in the chancel of the Old Kirk, and a further unmarked grave was found in the Russell mausoleum. No archaeological features were recorded during the survey of the Glebe.
