NO 116 238 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken in May 2002 at the former Roxannes Nightclub site at the corner of Kinnoull Street and Foundry Lane, close to Blackfriars monastery. Previous evaluations and excavation in the immediate vicinity have shown that that the area has good archaeological potential. Two trenches were excavated. Two medieval pottery sherds were recovered from an earlier ground surface. Investigation of this surface did not identify any medieval features. Natural was identified at a maximum depth of 2m. The natural appeared to rise in an eastward direction, suggesting that during the medieval period the site was low-lying and could well have been wet and only fit for rough grazing.
