On 14 May and 6 - 7 June an archaeological watching brief was maintained at 6 Keith Place, Stonehaven, Kincardine, where a 17th century former textile shed was being converted to a private residence. During the work, a substantial dividing wall, hitherto unknown, within the building was uncovered and, externally, the foundations of the perimeter sea wall were exposed.
