Headland Archaeology (UK) Ltd undertook a programme of archaeological works on a site at 396 Gorgie Road, Edinburgh. The work was required to support a planning application (Planning Ref 11/02827/FUL) for a proposed development. The programme revealed significant archaeological remains that span a period representing the transition of Gorgie from an area of agriculture to one of Edinburgh's industrial centres.

The excavation demonstrated that there were multiple phases of activity on the site starting with small scale agricultural activity in the 17th-18th Century as well as a substantial building with an external tower staircase. A mill was constructed, possibly in the 17th but more likely, in the 18th Century. This was subsequently expanded and more widespread industrial activity took place from the late 18th Century until the 20th Century. This most likely involved the drying of grains and legumes.
