NT 190 771 (area) A programme of archaeological works was undertaken in advance of the construction of a new pumping station, rising main and associated works at Cramond.

NT 1901 7719 - NT 1942 7792 A watching brief was undertaken on trenching works associated with the insertion of a new pipe alongside the western side of the causeway and immediately adjacent to the existing Cramond outfall pipe. The watching brief extended for a distance of 875m from the existed sewage pumping station, at the head of the breakwater. This work was undertaken immediately alongside and to the W of the anti-shipping barrier (NMRS NT17NE 118) linking the Cramond breakwater with Cramond Island. No significant archaeological features or artefacts were encountered.
