AOC Archaeology were commissioned by the City of Edinburgh Methodist Church to undertake an archaeological watching brief on all ground-breaking works associated with the new development of the Methodist Church at 25 Nicolson Square and Epworth Halls. The work involved the hand excavation of footings for a new extension and the excavations relating to a new lift shaft. The depth of excavation varied from 0.4m to 1.4m in depth. Made ground was encountered in all areas of ground reduction. The only archaeological remains exposed was a possible stone/concrete floor surface.
