The KLP's primary aim was to plug the gaps in the archaeological record for the area, particularly Mesolithic activity and an absence of native settlement from 2000 BC to AD 600 and to contribute to the development of local expertise. The most ambitious piece of work was examination of Bruce's Camp, a multi-vallate hillfort of possible late Iron Age date for which radiocarbon dates are awaited.
Broomend of Crichie after 150 years

Broomend of Crichie is located near Aberdeen. The archaeological remains are now much destroyed though the complex originally comprised two stone circles joined by an avenue of monoliths, a cairn, the earthworks of a henge and a cist cemetery. The results of excavation in 1855 were eventually published though were incomplete. A second phase of excavation begun in 2005 hopes to clarify and expand on the original results. It seems that the complex may be Early Bronze Age although further excavation and radiocarbon dating is required.
