Abstract:		 Headland Archaeology undertook an archaeological evaluation at Blackhall Farm, Inverurie, Aberdeenshire. A planning application has been submitted for a housing development on the land by CALA Homes. A previous desk-assessment of the site indicated that several archaeological sites were recorded in the vicinity and suggested the potential for previously unrecorded sub-surface archaeological remains to survive in the development area. 98 trenches were excavated in 9 fields covering 6300m², equivalent to approximately 5% of the development area. A concentration of prehistoric pits was revealed in Field 7 containing pottery, flint, burnt bone and charred grain. Two isolated pits were found in Fields 8 and 9 and sporadic traces of possible rig and furrow cultivation were also found on the northern part of the development. A number of recent features including a field dyke, drainage ditch and a number of rubble field drains were also recorded. The area of activity lies on shallow sloping ground on the north side of the Backhill of Davah. There are a number of upstanding prehistoric sites in the area as well as previous prehistoric sites uncovered through developer-funded excavations. The present discoveries appear to fit with this pattern of small-scale prehistoric activity within the wider landscape.
