Activities

Excavation (January 2010 - July 2010)

NT 226 721 An excavation was carried out January–July 2010, following a desk-based assessment and evaluation which identified sandstone wall footings corresponding to the location of one of the 19th-century buildings associated with Gorgie Mill, as depicted on the 1855 edition OS map. A series of sandstone wall footings were recorded which corresponded to the location of the mill on the 1855 map. The foundation of a red sandstone building abutting the S side of the wall footings was recorded. A substantial rectangular structure, 6.5 x 2.2m, was discovered to the E of the main mill building. It had a raised flagstone surface and an internal structure at its S end consisting of a void with suspended lintels and a partial flagstone base which had been filled with ash. The purpose of this structure is unclear, but it is possible that it had been used as a generator or boiler stand. A sandstone collector drain abutted the N end of the structure and fed into a large box drain which ran W along the N side of the mill building. It is considered that the features identified during the excavation relate to the former mill building depicted on the 1855 Ordnance Survey map.
