Abstract: |
A 7% evaluation was carried out on this 1 hectare site which lies to the W side of Walker Avenue and marks the western limit of the medieval town of Banff. Due to terracing of the site when the former primary school was built there had been massive movements of soil around the site with redeposited soil of over 2m depth in some of the evaluation trenches. Where the original buried topsoil was observed, there were small quantities of pottery of mixed modern and medieval date derived from midden manuring and general dumping in this ground directly outside the edge of the medieval town. |
