Details A pre-development evaluation was carried out on a large area which is part of a raised bog and extends into Aberdeen City boundary. There was a lack of structures and artefacts but a large area of timber was found beneath the bog level with quantities of stripped bark. Dating of timber samples prove to be from the Mesolithic period. Environmental analysis of the site (through wood, plant macrofossil and insect analyses) concluded that the timber remains were the remnants of an in-situ former woodland. On the higher ground a number of ploughed out features were associated with Early Neolithic Carinated pottery.
