Abstract:		 This report presents the results of an archaeological evaluation undertaken in relation to the construction of a proposed new Primary School at Meadowbank Road, Markethill, Turriff Aberdeenshire (NGR: NJ 7222 5062). The evaluation required an initial 7% trenching sample (2,140 linear metres) of the proposed 3.25 hectare development area. The area is currently used as arable land. Due to the presence of numerous live services the total trenching undertaken amounted to 750 linear metres. Trenching revealed drift geology of relatively free draining glacial boulder clay.Numerous plough scars were observed. The natural was immediately overlain by an improved plough-soil of organic sandy clay loam. No interface was observed between the topsoil and the subsoil Several evaluation trenches targeted possible enclosures identified on aerial photographs of 1977 and 1988. No remains associated with the enclosures were observed. The truncated remains of rig and furrow were recorded within the north eastern corner of the development area. This was shown to formerly cover the area on Roy's Highland Survey 1747-52. No other archaeologically significant features or material was recovered during the evaluation. Evidence of 19th century improvement occurred in the form of ceramics and glass which were observed in almost all of the trenches. No further works are considered necessary. This will be decided by Ms Claire Herbert of Aberdeenshire Council Archaeology Service who advises Aberdeenshire Council on archaeological matters
