Abstract:
Headland Archaeology undertook a topographic survey on four sites as part of a programme of archaeological non-invasive investigations to facilitate the construction of the Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route and associated schemes (AWPR). All four sites reported on were located on the Fastlink section of the AWPR. Howieshill Farmstead (Site 32) is depicted on historic maps as a roughly triangular enclosure with an unroofed rectangular building inside. The site of the Burnhead Cairns (Site 121) is shown on historic mapping as rough pasture, as it remains today. The Scottish North Eastern Railway (Site 257) was not visited at this stage - the site is part of the main Aberdeen to Edinburgh-Glasgow line and as such is an operational railway. The Crossley Clearance Cairn (Site 506) exists presently as a large spread of stone, which was mostly grassed over and only visible in parts at the time of the survey.
