AOC Archaeology Group were commissioned by George Sharkey and Sons Ltd to undertake an archaeological watching brief on a large-scale development at 18 - 21 Market Street and 6 Cockburn Street in Edinburgh. These works were undertaken as one of the conditions of planning consent on the development as determined by the City of Edinburgh Council Archaeology Service, who advise the City of Edinburgh Council on archaeological matters. They were also undertaken after a programme of historic building recording works. Only very minor ground-breaking works were undertaken, including several trenches in one of the rooms relating to the small single-storey building to the south of No 21 Market Street.
