Archaeology Notes

NJ71NE 102 786 177

NJ 786 177. Evaluative excavation of eleven trenches, of total area c. 575 sq m, was carried out in consultation with Grampian Regional Council, in advance of proposed gravel extraction. Full details and a plan are lodged with Grampian Regional Council.

Removal of topsoil and the upper surface of gravel/sand subsoil revealed one probable post hole and a suite of probable field boundaries, but no indication of major archaeological structures, and no identifiable artefacts were recovered. Further excavation is intended should quarrying proceed.
