Abstract: |
Palaeoenvironmental survey using a manual gouge auger was conducted across Hare Moss Wetland (Site 153), an area of wetland identified as having the potential to contain sediments of palaeoenvironmental potential on the Southern Leg of the New Aberdeen Bypass road scheme prior to any construction work being undertaken. The aims of the survey were to establish the presence of any deposits of palaeoenvironmental interest (e.g. peats and organic muds); establish the depth and nature of these deposits and their likely chronology; and establish the potential of these deposits to inform on landscape change in order to provide recommendations for the mitigation of impact deemed necessary to alleviate the impact of the development. The results of the survey showed that peats were present and that these peats existed as pockets of deep peat with shallower peats spread across the area. At Hare Moss Wetland a maximum peat thickness of 1.45m was recorded in the eastern part of the site. |
