Two potential hut circles have been identified during a fairly recent field survey on Tullos Hill. They are amongst over a hundred new archeological sites identified on Tullos Hill which was thought to have been archeological blitzed by a landfill site which has absorbed much of Aberdeen's waste for the last forty years.
They add to the archeological importance of this site which already has four known bronze age cairns. The survey also identified other possible cairns. It is hoped funds will be found for excavation to confirm the sites.
