Abstract: |
An archaeological walkover survey of riparian planting areas within the Mar Lodge Estate, due west of Braemar, Aberdeenshire, was performed by Robert Lenfert on behalf of Cameron Archaeology for the National Trust for Scotland (NTS) over a 5 day period in July 2015. The purpose of the walkover survey was to examine priority planting areas for several new conifer plantations along Geldie Burn and the upper reaches of the River Dee in the west of the estate, scheduled to commence in 2016 and 2017. The survey did not reveal any visible indications of unrecorded archaeological finds or features, despite heavy levels of erosion sustained along the main watercourses adjacent to the planting areas. However, a large unrecorded enclosure which may have served as a sheep fold was discovered along the confluence of Geldie Burn and the River Dee. Additionally, eight prehistoric flints in the form of blades and debitage were recorded and collected from the footpath leading to the Chest of Dee, one of two currently known Mesolithic sites within the estate (Canmore ID 267763, NGR NO 0170 8855). |
