Abstract:		 This report presents the results of an archaeological evaluation undertaken in relation to the construction of an Aerobic Digestion Plant at Port Gordon Malting, Portgordon, Buckie, Moray (NGR: NJ 38930 63324). The evaluation required an initial 7-10% trenching sample of the proposed 1.0 hectare development area. The area is situated on the south facing slope of a low rise and is currently used as open agricultural land. The total trenching undertaken amounted to 700 linear metres. Trenching revealed a heavily bioturbated drift geology of yellow to orange sands. Numerous plough scars and shallow tree throws were identified. A deposit of red/brown colluvial silt occurred across the site. This ranged from 0.10 m to 0.30 m in depth. The development area was overlain by an improved plough-soil of organic sandy clay loam. No interface was observed between the topsoil and the subsoil Two shallow linear ditches were recorded within several trenches. These were aligned south-west to north-east across the development area. It is likely that the features are the truncated remains of boundary ditches of possible prehistoric date. Further works in the form of post-excavation analysis may be considered necessary. This will be decided by Ms Claire Herbert of Aberdeenshire Council Archaeology Service who advises Aberdeenshire Council on archaeological matters.
