Full Description
Remains of a field-system with a hut-circle and about 55 cairns scattered over the area. The cairns are 2m - 7m in diameter. A detailed survey was carried out along the proposed route of the Aberdeen-Lochside Gas Pipeline in 2003-04 as it passed around the Scheduled area. Fifteen features of archaeological interest were identified: all stone cairns and banks, probably hitherto unrecorded elements of the prehistoric field system and settlement within the Scheduled area on Cheyne Hill. Cairns 8 and 11-14 were evaluated and Cairns 8, 12 and 13 were revealed to be of natural origin. Full excavation of Cairns 11 and 14 was carried out and they were found to be denuded remains of clearance cairns of likely prehistoric date. Twenty two trial trenches were excavated by machine in the apparently blank areas between the cairns, but no features of archaeological interest were found.
