Full Description
Site of a small farmstead, depicted on the 1st and 2nd edition OS maps. The 1st edition shows a group of three rectangular buildings set around the edge of an enclosure. By the time of the 2nd edition map only the largest of these remained with a smaller , rectangular enclosure to the south. The site was part of an evaluation of this and a field to the northeast carried out by MAS in 2012 ahead of proposed development. This field was extensively infilled, drained and levelled in circa 2007 when the ruins of the last surviving building of Mains of Kintore was demolished, Two of the evaluation trenches crossed the known site of the building but apart from a small patch of unstructured rubble in Trench 20 there was no surviving structural evidence of the farmstead. There was a scatter of sherds of late 19th and early 20th century domestic ceramic and glass around the site, but these may have been brought in from elsewhere and were not retained.
