Full Description
Survey, evaluation and, subsequently, excavation carried out by CFA as part of Aberdeen-Lochside Gas Pipeline Project in 2003-04. The pipeline passed the Scheduled area around Findlayston Cairn, enclosure and field systems (NO88NW0012, NO88NW0007). A walkover survey identified features including eight possible clearance cairns, a denuded turf bank and a field wall/bank. Sixteen trenches were excavated by machine. Three of the cairns, a field bank and a field wall or bank were evaluated, and were shown to most likely be of prehistoric origin. Three cairns and a bank of likely prehistoric date were fully excavated. Their construction was determined and they are likely to have been associated with the dense complex of similar remains within the Scheduled area to the West .
