Archaeology Notes

NO63NW 24 6057 3910

Site recorded during an archaeological evaluation carried out prior to proposed road improvements, through a combination of desk-based research, non-invasive and invasive fieldwork

NO 6057 3910 Three Mile Wood (Balcathie). A suite of features, aligned NE-SW, were visible on aerial photographs extending into the affected area. Trenches concentrated at these points revealed a number of features on the edge of a terrace above ground sloping down to Three Mile Burn. These mainly comprised deep pits, two of which contained prehistoric pottery and small amounts of burnt bone.

Detailed reports will be lodged with the NMRS.
