Abstract: |
A visual inspection of the site was carried out on 4 April 2018 and a photographic survey was carried out on 20 April 2018 with watching briefs on the service trenches 30 August and 6 September 2018. A pit and post-hole were excavated; it is possible that post-hole base F1 is medieval in origin but the pit F3 was backfilled in the late 19th or 20th century. This site is on the line of medieval High Street and the buildings may have been wood or this might have been the remains of an internal partition or fitting. Parson Gordon's map of 1661 (Illus 13) shows stone buildings along the frontage with rigs to the E. Medieval pottery of the type recovered on this site have been found all over Aberdeen and Old Aberdeen. The building work is now complete and so it is recommended that no further archaeological work is required during the current planning application. |
