Abstract:		 Palaeoenvironmental surveys using a manual gouge auger were conducted across two areas of wetland identified as having the potential to contain sediments of palaeoenvironmental potential on the Fastlink route of the proposed Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route (AWPR) 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 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 at both sites and that these peats existed as pockets of peatland rather than as a continuous peat cover across the whole of each area.
