Archaeological Evaluation (26 November 2013 - 16 June 2014)

NT 2646 7506 An evaluation was undertaken, 26 November 2013 – 16 June 2014, in advance of a proposed development on the former City of Edinburgh Council buildings at Shrubhill. The development area consists of brownfield land situated on the W edge of the Leith Walk.

Four trenches covering 122 linear metres were excavated. The work established that the area had undergone significant truncation to a depth of three metres. Natural deposits of clay and sand were recorded in all trenches. No archaeological remains were discovered within the evaluation trenches; however, a surviving segment of cobbled and railed road, probably relating to the Victorian era Middlefield Coach Works was observed in the NW of the area, incorporated into the existing ground surface. The rails were cleaned and recorded.
