A programme of archaeological monitoring was carried out on ground breaking works associated the construction of a single dwelling at Casselbank Street, Leith, Edinburgh. The monitoring of ground works covered an area 64m² within a gap between existing buildings (at immediate NW wall of church) facing onto Casselbank Street. The results of this work revealed a layer of garden soil underlying the modern ground surface. No features of archaeological significance were identified during this work although a small number of clay pipe stems dating to the 18th/19th century were recovered from the garden soil.
