NT 16500 66700; This report presents the results of an archaeological evaluation undertaken by AOC Archaeology Group on behalf of Currie Rugby Football Club, on the site of a new training pitch on ground at Malleny Park, Balerno. The archaeological evaluation consisted of the machine trenching of 800 m². A total of 1020 m2 was originally required. However, the presence of live services curtailed the area available for evaluation. In total four trenches were opened over the area of the proposed pitch. The area had been heavily truncated during the construction of the current playing fields with modern drains spaced at regular one metre intervals. Neither significant archaeological features nor artefacts were encountered.
