Archaeological Evaluation (30 October 2019 - 31 October 2019)
Headland Archaeology (UK) Ltd conducted an archaeological trial trench evaluation on vacant land to the north of the City of Edinburgh Council Neighbourhood Centre, Craigmillar, Edinburgh as a condition of the planning application for development of the Replacement Castlebrae Highschool by Morrison Construction. The excavation of 10 trial trenches amounting to 428m linear revealed the southern part of the site had been disturbed during the construction of the Neighbourhood Centre and this area had subsequently been landscaped. Much of the area was covered in scrub and small tree cover with undulating and uneven ground. The depth of the excavated trenches varied between 0.25 and 1.1m and in all cases exposed either the geological subsoil or bedrock. No features of archaeological interest were present.
