Description
Trial trenching in 1979 by Aberdeen City Council Archaeological Unit recorded evidence of the use of the area for Medieval backland dumping and cultivation. The site lay to the north of that later excavated at 30-46 Upperkirkgate. A simple sequence of post-medieval and medieval garden soil over the natural subsoil was established. A cess-pit and a possible east to west aligned boundary ditch were discovered cut into the subsoil. The finds from this site are in the collections of Aberdeen Art Gallery and Museums.
