Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken during the excavation of a shallow trench around the Maiden Stone, near Chapel of Garioch, Aberdeenshire, ahead of the installation of a winter frost cover. The stone is reported to have been moved at some time prior to 1855 when the adjacent road was built, requiring its relocation to its present position. After the removal of turf, a layer of protruding sub-angular boulders in a compact matrix of mid-brown silt was revealed. It was decided not to disturb these deposits, and the trench was backfilled. Although the stone is thought to have been moved between 1832 and 1855, it was likely that the newer location may well contain sensitive archaeological deposits. The exposed features were recorded in detail before backfilling. |
