Full Description
Excavations in 1978-9 recorded medieval and post-medieval features. A trial trench in 1978 on the slope behind the street frontage revealed a post medieval cobbled surface sealing 0.85m of medieval deposits. Excavation in 1979 recorded medieval layers of sand and gravel containing 14th century pottery, with the remains of wooden posts dated to the 13th to 14th century. One pit is thought to be of 15th- to 17th-century date. A stone-built clay-bonded drain was of 18th or 19th-century origin. The finds from this site are in the collections of Aberdeen Art Gallery and Museums.
