Full Description
A watching brief was maintained by MAS in October 2011 during the groundworks for the building of a new cold store at Castle Street, Peterhead. The site is in close proximity to the supposed site of Keith Inch castle, thought to have been constructed by the Keith Earls Marischal after 1589, of which nothing now remains. The area stripped measured 44m by 15m and excavation uncovered deep deposits of building rubble from a demolished office block that previously occupied the site. No archaeological features or finds were evident.
