NT 263 739 Work was undertaken 6–16 May 2008 at the development sites situated to the N side of Calton Road. All upstanding walls were recorded. Area PA1 (A) exposed a simple W-facing section of walling, and a number of blocked features including two fireplaces were identified. Area PA1 (B) was more extensive, exposing E- and S-facing sections of upstanding wall. The S-facing section rose to accommodate the steep bank. The earliest phase of the walls possibly dated to the 18th century with a number of later additions and alterations during the 19th and 20th centuries.
