Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by AOC Archaeology Group on land due for residential development within Fasque Estate, Fettercairn, Aberdeenshire. The evaluation took place throughout five zones at the north edge of the Fasque Estate. Zone 3 and 4 contained no significant archaeology. Zones 5, 6 and 8 all contained post medieval features, mainly pits, but with a probable field boundary also present in Zone 5, and a stone platform and ditch in Zone 8. Zone 6 was revealed to contain two areas of probable prehistoric activity that most likely represents two possible round houses. One of these houses was situated on a high point at the western edge of the zone, with the other in a lower area approximately 50 m to the east. The upper house consisted of a ring ditch with several associated pits around the outside. The lower house consisted of an arc of probable post holes with other pit features nearby. |
