NT 263 739 Documentary research and building survey were carried out in April 2002 on a boundary wall at Calton Road, opposite Tollbooth Wynd. The documentary research indicated a date of 1813-20 for the construction of the wall as recorded, and there were no visible traces of any fabric relating to earlier buildings. The building survey recorded a number of blocked features and the remains of a staircase within a concave stairwell. The S end of the wall had been repaired or raised in height. On the E-facing side of the wall, the remains of several buildings, probably relating to the brewery, could be seen in outline.
