A watching brief was carried out by Aberdeen City Council Archaeological Unit in April 2004 during removal of pots from a wall. Masons repointing the west exterior of the chapel came across four broken pottery jugs. The jugs had been carefully placed behind the facing stones, set on their sides, with the rims and handles removed and the bases facing the interior of the wall. A clear indication that the jugs had been deliberately placed in the wall could be seen by the fact that, in two cases, the facing stones had been trimmed at the rear to provide a space to accommodate the jugs. The vessels were originally small squat jugs, about 15cm in diameter, of a type made in the Aberdeen area between the late 14th and 16th centuries. Therefore, they are probably contemporary with the building of the chapel in the early 1500s. Following recording three of the pots were removed from the wall for analysis.
