Abstract: |
A programme of strip and map and mitigation excavation was carried out along the Balmedie to Tipperty section of the proposed Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route/Balmedie-Tipperty (AWPR/B-T). The subject of this report is the topsoil stripping and hand-excavation of the features in Trench AWPR/B-T/BT/002, located within Plot 401 at Dambrae, Hill of Menie. The majority of the features identified related to post-improvement agriculture. These consisted of improvement features such as field drains and numerous irregular-shaped pits, most probably holes left over from stone and boulder extraction. Evidence of earlier agricultural practices was apparent by the presence of cultivation furrows. |
