Headland Archaeology (UK) Ltd was commissioned to undertake a programme of targeted sample excavation at Holiday Inn, Ocean Drive in advance of a proposed extension to the hotel. The programme of works was required as part of a planning condition imposed on the development by Edinburgh City Council. The excavation consisted of targeted trenches located on the site of proposed pile caps and ground beams. The trenches revealed made-ground deposits related to the infilling of the Old West Dock overlain by more recent made-ground deposits relating to the construction of the Hotel and car park.
