Details	A watching brief was carried out by Aberdeen City Council Archaeological Unit in 1992 during demolition of a section of 19th century tenement buildings. Although the site was in the area of the Carmelite friary (NJ90NW0006) no archaeological features were observed, and only natural levels recorded. A parcel of papers apparently deposited during construction was recovered. Included are copies of the Aberdeen Journal and the Daily Free Press of 1879, containing accounts of the discovery of human bones on the west side of Carmelite Lane, during building work. A handwritten statement of the 1879 developer indicates his awareness that his building work covers the site once known as the Carmelite friars' garden.
