NT 27290 63712 (NT26SE 1) An evaluation, metal detector survey and small excavation were undertaken, 24–27 November 2015, on the site of the former Roslin Institute in advance of redevelopment of the site for housing. The evaluation covered 5% of the 2.5ha site and 23 trenches were
excavated within the accessible area. A total of 27 sherds of medieval pottery were recovered from a small feature in Trench 9 which was then extended. The subsequent excavation uncovered an extensive linear feature which split to form two termini at the northern extent along with three small pits and modern field drains. The linear feature may
represent the truncated base of a ditch.
