Abstract: |
This report represents the results of an archaeological evaluation undertaken by AOC Archaeology Group at Liberton Road, Edinburgh (centred NGR: NT 271 704 ). The work was commissioned by Applecross Properties Ltd in advance of the redevelopment of an area of ground. The archaeological works were designed to satisfy the requirements of the local planning authority, as advised by City of Edinburgh Archaeology Service (CECAS) The objective of the work was to evaluate the archaeological potential of the development area. The work was carried out during March 2008 and was conducted according to the terms of a Written Scheme of Investigation (AOC 2008) which was agreed by Mr John Lawson of CECAS, and approved by the planning authority. The evaluation consisted of two trenches totalling 100 m² and thereby comprising a 5% sample of the development area. The evaluation identified evidence for a mill lade recorded on the 1st Edition Survey Map (1855), but revealed neither significant archaeological features nor artefacts. No further archaeological works are recommended. |
