NT 2562 7447 A watching brief was maintained in May 2004 during the conversion of the former offices of the City Archaeology Service into a museum store. A significant depth of modern demolition rubble was present on the site, within which were several wall and column supports, probably relating to the Victorian marketplace. Prior to the construction of the marketplace the site appears to have been levelled with imported demolition material.
Report lodged with Edinburgh SMR and the NMRS.
