An archaeological watching brief was undertaken during selected works associated with the construction of an extension to the veteran’s home at Whitefoord House, Canongate, Edinburgh. Excavation revealed structural remains which survived up to 1.15m high. The site can be divided into two phases; the earliest is represented by a late 17th-mid 18th Century building. The later phase is represented by a small building built onto the south wall of the earlier structure. A large sandstone wall bonded with lime mortar, situated to the east, formed a close with the north-south oriented wall of the earlier building. This later structure dates to the mid-late 19th Century.
