Abstract: |
The area of the 2014 fieldwork, following a resistance survey by Rose Geophysical Consultants, has produced no evidence that this was the site of the early medieval monastery of Deer. Extensive agricultural evidence, possibly from the medieval and early post-medieval period indicate that this was intensively used for agriculture. The area was probably within the lands of the monastery of Deer and part of the lands bringing income into the monastery. Fieldwalking in the cemetery and surrounding fields have identified medieval finds but these may be the result of spreading nightsoil from Old Deer or another medieval settlement in the area. Ditch 10 is a natural feature infilled over many years. Flints from the project include an assemblage of late Neolithic date mainly collected during fieldwalking in the fields and adjacent graveyard. |
