Abstract: |
Headland Archaeology undertook a topographic survey on the sub-rectangular Cruives Enclosure Wall (Site A29) as part of a programme of archaeological non-invasive investigations to facilitate the construction of the Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route and associated schemes. The enclosure wall is depicted on historic maps as being associated with a series of buildings and boathouse that may relate to salmon fishing on the River Don. The topographic survey found the enclosure wall to be partially ruinous and only present on the west, north and east of the line of the enclosure as depicted on the historic maps. The enclosure wall was of drystone construction and was up to 1m wide and 0.8m high in places. No evidence of buildings was noted during the survey which was hindered by dense undergrowth and tree cover. |
