Abstract: |
A watching brief was undertaken during a topsoil strip prior to extraction works at Mill Farm Sand and Gravel Quarry, Kemnay, Aberdeenshire. Remains of a probable Prehistoric settlement were found preserved within a natural hollow and sealed beneath a thick deposit of colluvium on the southern edge of site. Features including a probable hearth, a small pit containing Neolithic pottery, two flint scatters and two stone concentrations of unknown date or function were encountered in the area. Following discussions with Aberdeen Council Archaeological service the features were covered with geotextile fabric and are to be preserved in situ. |
