Abstract: |
Palaeoenvironmental survey using a manual gouge auger was conducted across Red Moss (Site 314), an area identified as wetland and having the potential to contain sediments of palaeoenvironmental potential on the Northern Leg of the Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route 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), the depth and nature of these deposits and their likely chronology; together with establishing the potential of these deposits to inform on landscape change and offer 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 in only two areas of the site; at the western end and just to the west of the central area. |
