Abstract:		 Between March and September 2010, representatives of Aberdeen City Council Museums and Galleries Service undertook a programme of archaeological monitoring of groundworks associated with Phase II of developments relating to the closure of the landfill site at Ness Farm and Tullos Hill, Coast Road, Nigg, Aberdeen (NGR NJ 9559 0355). The area is rich in archaeological remains. The earliest, of prehistoric origin, are among the most important prehistoric archaeological features in Aberdeen, with other periods represented by features relating to post medieval agricultural improvements, and Second World War structural remains (Cameron 2008). Numerous features relating to these periods of land use were encountered during Phase I of the landfill closure operations (Peters 2009). The archaeologically sensitive nature of the site, combined with the need to close the landfill sites sensitively and safely, necessitated the archaeological monitoring of Phase II of the development works. All archaeological monitoring was undertaken in accordance with the relevant archaeological strategy appendix, outlined as a condition of planning consent, and approved by the Keeper of Archaeology at Aberdeen City Council, and in accordance with best practice and professional standards condoned by the Institute for Archaeologists (IfA 2002). The watching brief monitored the clearance and scraping of land for an attenuation pond and new pedestrian access track, clearances for the widening of existing track ways and the excavation of channels for drainage, recording any features uncovered during the groundworks. The watching brief monitoring encountered a total of six features, five relating to post-medieval agricultural land-use of the area. Two were dry stone walls, two drainage ditches, and the other was a stone gully. The other feature relates to modern use of the area and was a concrete post and wire fence.
