An archaeological evaluation took place on brownfield land at McDonald Road, Edinburgh. The Evaluation took place on the morning of the 21st of March 2013 in sunny weather and good archaeological visibility. Trenches were laid out in order to take an even sample of 10% of the development area, and were excavated using a 13 tonne tracked 360 degree excavator, using a two metre wide ditching bucket. No significant archaeological material or features were detected, other than large scale landscaping and backfilling, attributed to modern sand extraction.
