NJ 8685 3475 An evaluation was carried out in February 2004 in the environs of Haddo House. Geophysical survey was undertaken prior to trial trenching to establish the nature and extent of archaeological remains in the area. A large stone platform of uneven construction was revealed, as well as a series of stone-lined drains. A ground-penetrating radar survey was undertaken in the car park adjacent to Haddo House Hall, and the results suggest the existence of substantial structural remains.

Report lodged with the NMRS.

NJ 8685 3475 A watching brief was maintained in August 2005 during the excavation of a soakaway and related drainage work at Haddo House. No archaeological features or finds were evident during the excavation of the soakaway, but a small section of Vshaped stone drain of probable 19th-century date was recorded below a pathway on the S side of the chapel adjoining the house.

Report to be lodged with NMRS.
