A watching brief was undertaken during the construction of a car park at Bridgend Farm, Old Dalkeith Road, Edinburgh. A row of surface sandstone lintels was removed to reveal two brick lined tanks. Examination of late 19th century maps suggests a farm outbuilding once occupied the location of the tanks although they may post-date its demolition prior to 1914. These may be farm slurry tanks. No finds were recovered.
