Abstract:		 A watching brief was carried out in advance of quarrying in Phase 9/2 and Phase 10/1 at Arnhall Quarry, Aberdeenshire. In Phase 9/2 eighteen pits were identified. Most of the pits were located on the ridge above the former course of the River North Esk. The majority of the features appeared to have been deliberately excavated, rather than being stone holes or similar. Most contained charcoal and the samples from two of the pits were processed. The only find was a tiny portion of an iron strap recovered during the processing of samples. In Phase 10/1 twenty-three pit features were identified along with some furrows from rig-and-furrow cultivation and another undated linear feature. Many of the pits exhibited traces of burning in their fills, including charcoal and heat affected stones. Some even had what appeared to be heat affected natural at the base suggesting that burning in situ was taking place. It certainly seems that many of these features may have been small fire pits. The result of the sample processing suggests that small scale crop-processing or food preparation was being carried out on site with low levels of burnt food remains, crop processing waste and fire fuel being present in the pits. The radiocarbon dates from the pits in Phase 9/2 provide a Medieval date and it is considered that the pits from both phases were a continuation of the same group of features. Certainly at least one of the pits (086) from Phase 10/1 was stratigraphically earlier than the furrows.
