NK 01 25 A series of small-scale fieldwork and desk-based exercises were undertaken to explore the Early Holocene archaeology of the Sands of Forvie. A detailed topographical survey of two middens was carried out (NK 007 258). These features, predominantly of mussel, sit on the main post-glacial raised beach (formed c 6000 bp) and are slumping down the cliff over the popular footpath.
