Abstract: |
A controlled watching brief was undertaken on a soil strip across the route of a new access route of on an area proposed for a Business and Industrial Park. The area monitored was a maximum of 18m wide and extended across a total of eight fields. Stone drains and other features of probable 19th or 20th century agricultural origin were encountered. In addition, ten lithics were recovered during the monitoring, one of which was a small red arrowhead of early Bronze Age date (Ballin Pers comm). These finds, found in the southernmost part of the site, further corroborate the findings of earlier archaeological work in the vicinity that there is very high potential for prehistoric archaeology to be encountered within the development area. The written scheme of investigation for this phase, also requires archaeological monitoring of soil stripping relating to the next phases of the development, and it is important that this occurs. Further archaeological advice can be obtained from the Lead Curator of Local History and Archaeology at Aberdeen City Council. |
