Abstract: |
The results of an archaeological evaluation, carried out prior to the commencement of the Niddrie Burn Restoration Project, Niddrie show that there was significant archaeology that would be directly affected by the scheme. As a result an archaeological excavation was requested by Edinburgh City Council in order to fully record and understand these remains. The evaluation located the remains of an ice house a discrete area of medieval activity and the remains of a possible path or estate road associated with the 17th century Niddrie House. The excavation found the wider extent of these features and in addition found a number of pits, the remains of a small farm steading comprising buildings, a well, stone tank and industrial hearth dating to the early part of the 17th century. The excavation also identified the presence of estate walls and roads. Finds included ceramics, glass, animal bone and a large amount of metal finds consisting of coins, lead and copper alloy objects. |
