Fieldwalking was carried out in 1993 in two fields to the north of excavations at the Den of Boddam (NK14SW0003) and the field to the northwest. Large quantities of debitage were observed across the eastern, downslope, fields to the north, but concentration of material decreased to the west and little was found west of the track. The distribution probably reflects the presence of extraction pits under the surface and thus of the presence of accessible Buchan Ridge Gravel. The debitage also showed a change in colour across this distribution, from grey in the area of the excavation to red- and yellow-brown on the fields to the north, relating to a change in the nature of the Gravel.
