(to this) metal, have, however been found in these buildings, in so far as can be learned, but only a quantity
of wood, ashes, and charcoal, chiefly at the farther end, where there sometimes appears a small aperture i

Ordnance Survey was established in the 18th century to create maps, surveys and associated records for the entirety of Great Britain. These records are arranged by county. This entry has been created to enable searching for Ordnance Survey records for the county of Aberdeen, which is in the north east of Scotland. The boundaries of the county were altered by the Boundary Commissioners in 1891.
