Abstract:		 A series of archaeological works were carried out to investigate Quarrywood Henge, Elgin and to consider the consequence of damage to the site caused by the use of the ground for forestry. The works commenced with a geophysical survey which recorded a series of anomalies. These were interpreted as a circular arrangement of possible negative features which may represent post or stone settings, covering an area which measured approximately 20m in diameter within the henge. A possible penannular feature was also identified, as well as three linear features that may represent marks left by forestry ploughing. In addition a series of signals were found that may represent other negative features which may reflect further activity within the henge, such as burials, burning or occupation areas. Three targeted areas within the monument were hand excavated to recover information relating to the monument's date and form as well as examining the nature of any damage from visitor erosion and forestry operations. These showed the construction of the bank and ditch to have been possibly consisted of two phases, with the spoil of the ditch forming the ditch. The trench in the central area of the henge did not contain any archaeology. Several pieces of flint debitage were recovered from under the northern bank of the henge. All the targeted areas showed root penetration down to and into subsoil, causing varying degrees of disturbance to the underlying sediments. In addition the walkers path was shown to have caused erosion along its length through the monument, with the loss of material up to 200mm in depth.
