Full Description
A geophysical survey was carried out by Headland Archaeology in 2012 ahead of the proposed Aberdeen Western Peripheral route. Anomalies recorded in this section are thought to be geological in origin. A programme of trial trenching was carried out by Headland Archaeology in 2012. A number of isolated features were recorded, some undated including a boundary or drainage ditch in Trench NL0929 or containing modern material, including a pit in trench NL0932, and ditch in trench NL0955. See also NJ91SE0039, NJ91NE0142. A watching brief in 2007 on test pitting along the AWPR route had recorded no archaeological features.
