Abstract: |
Headland Archaeology undertook a topographic survey on five sites (Illus 1) as part of a programme of archaeological non-invasive investigations to facilitate the construction of the Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route (AWPR) and associated schemes. All five sites reported on were located on the Northern Leg section of the AWPR. The sites recorded include Ashtown Boundary Stone (Site 120) a granite marker dating to the late 18th century. Parkhill Pumping Station (Site 170) constructed in 1898 an early example of the use of reinforced concrete in Scotland. Cranfield Farm Consumption Dyke (Site 201) comprising a broad, linear dyke built of clearance stones. Goval Standing Stone (Site 218) , a substantial granite boulder that may have been intentionally righted. Overton Stone Wall (Site 279), a narrow, single-walled dyke that had been substantially augmented with large quantities of clearance stones. |
