Abstract: |
In December 2009, a representative of Aberdeen City Council Archaeological Unit undertook a programme of archaeological landscape survey at Bean's Hill, Westfield, Milltimber, Aberdeen (NGR NJ 8480 0340). The site is located within an area that is rich in archaeological remains across a number of periods, the earliest of prehistoric origin. This was highlighted most recently by an archaeological survey (Cameron 2009) and Watching Brief (Peters 2009), which was concentrated on one of the fields adjacent to the landscape survey work area. The archaeological survey was undertaken in accordance with professional standards set out by the Institute of Field Archaeologists, following a request outlined by the client. In addition to the survey for the tree planting, a linear north-south area on the route of the Western Peripheral Road was subjected to a rapid walkover survey (Figure 1, red shaded area). No features were recorded in this area but two patches of surviving rig and furrow close to the rapid walkover survey area may have an impact on any further works planned for this area. |
