Abstract: |
During renovation works at Marischal College, a series of deep drainage works were monitored by CFA Archaeology. The excavations took place within the Quadrangle of the College and on Broad Street. Archaeological remains encountered within the quadrangle included a series of large cut features, the base for the now removed McGrigor Obelisk, and a section of granite masonry. It is possible that the masonry relates to the Franciscan Friary or early College structures. Finds recovered include sherds of medieval pottery and floor tiles. During the Broad Street works a series of modern made ground deposits overlay a compacted surface of uncertain date. |
