Excavation in 1974 by Aberdeen City Council Archaeological Unit revealed a stone built medieval harbour wall of at least two phases. This excavation, adjacent to the innermost point of Aberdeen's early harbour, indicated the presence of portions of a late 14th to early 15th century ashlar-faced harbour wall and traces of subsequent waterfront infill. Two phases of harbour wall were uncovered and these were succeeded by major harbour works which created a new waterfront line out towards the present Trinity Quay. The old harbour was filled in within a short time and overlain by phases of occupation represented by cobbled surfaces, hearths and drains and most recently a 19th-century warehouse. A total of 39 pieces of flints were recorded, most naturally occurring waterworn nodules form local beach deposits and ballast dumped by boats.
