Abstract:		 Between May and November 2009, representatives of Aberdeen City Council Archaeological Unit undertook a programme of archaeological monitoring of groundworks associated with Phase I developments relating to the closure of the landfill site at Ness Farm and Tullos Hill, Coast Road, Nigg, Aberdeen (NGR NJ 9559 0355). The area is rich in archaeological remains, the earliest, of prehistoric origin, are among the most important prehistoric archaeological features in Aberdeen, with other periods represented by features relating to post medieval agricultural improvements, and Second World War structural remains (Cameron 2008; Appendix 1). The archaeologically sensitive nature of the site, combined with the need to close the landfill sites sensitively and safely, necessitated the archaeological monitoring of several stages of the development works. All archaeological monitoring was undertaken in accordance with the archaeological strategy; only Doonies Farm attenuation pond was covered by a planning application. All work was approved by the Keeper of Archaeology at Aberdeen City Council (Appendix 1), and in accordance with best practice and professional standards condoned by the Institute for Field Archaeology (IFA 2002). The watching brief monitored the excavation of channels for drainage, clearance for fencing, excavations for surface attenuation ponds and gas venting trenches and the installation of new trackways, recording any features uncovered during the groundworks and, where possible, such as with the gas venting trenches, consulting with the developers to avoid known archaeological features.
