Archaeologists have uncovered the remains of an Iron Age settlement on the grounds of a proposed road and car park.

Remnants of timber roundhouses and historic smithing materials have been dug up on a site earmarked for a park and ride site.

Pottery from the early Bronze Age has also been recovered from the field where construction work to ease traffic congestion along the A96 Aberdeen to Inverness road is due to begin.

Excavators were tasked with carrying out investigatory works as part of a condition attached to planning permission for the site in Dyce.
