NJ 9521 0673 A watching brief was maintained in October 2006 during the soil strip and excavation of foundations on the site in advance of its development as a crazy golf course. The site measures c 65m (E-W) by 40m (N-S) and is located on the E side of Links Road in the area of the Queens Links. Although there were no recorded archaeological features within the confines of the site, it is quite likely that there was prehistoric and later medieval activity in the wider area. The soil strip and deeper excavations for soakaways and foundations showed that a deep layer of demolition rubble was used to level the site prior to it being landscaped and grassed over. No archaeological features or finds were evident.
Report lodged with Aberdeen City SMR and NMRS.
