Excavations at Peterseat Anti-Aircraft (Ack-Ack) Battery later converted as a Prisoner of War Camp (Nigg Hostel), Torry Battery, a mid 19th-century battery used during the First and Second World Wars and St Fittick's Church, dating back to the 12th century. The excavations were carried out between 2001 and 2004 and were supplemented with historical research and oral history and produced a wealth of information about this area of the City during the 19th and 20th centuries. The excavation at Peterseat was funded by Forbes Homes; the St Fittick's Church and Torry Battery excavations were funded by Nave Nortrail, Historic Scotland and Aberdeen City Council.
