Abstract:
Twenty-six archaeologists, students and local volunteers took part in the project which was funded by Aberdeenshire Council Archaeology Service. Sixteen trenches were located in Old Deer village, the Episcopal Church and the Parish Church graveyard. The trenches in the village revealed the remains of cottages, a cobbled area, and a cobbled yard or roadway. Nothing earlier than these post-medieval structures were recorded in these trenches. In the garden of 8-10 Abbey Street there were 19th to 20th-century deposits down to 1m depth although a 17th-century coin was recovered. At the rear of the Episcopalian Church the ground had been prone to flooding and the area was raised in height using stony rubble sealed with clay. Eleven trenches were excavated in the Parish Church graveyard to determine the make-up of the ground. A trench within the medieval ruin in 2011 had encountered human remains and had to be abandoned and trenches in 2015 on the N and E side of the medieval ruin revealed post-medieval deposits including mortar, plaster and stones from building construction, demolition or repairs but no medieval remains. Trenches within the Old Deer Parish Church graveyard revealed information about the size of the medieval graveyard, the demolished section of the 12th-century church but no earlier structures were found. Based several seasons of work this is unlikely to be the site of the pre-12th-century monastery.
