Abstract: |
Following the results of a watching brief and evaluation at 4-17 Poplar Lane/20 Salamander Place, Leith a program of strip and record was requested. These works found building remains dating from the late 18th century through to the mid 19th century. In addition a large number of pits and post holes were found which varied in size and shape and function ranging from small domestic pits through to large sand quarrying pits. A number of trench like pits were also discovered the location and regularity of which may suggest some sort of 18th/19th century industrial processes. Five wells were also found within the site four of which had barrel linings and the fifth being constructed entirely from brick. Finds from the site include 18/19th century pottery, a small amount of bone, leather shoes ranging from small child's shoes through to adult boots, metal work the majority of which was obtained from only two pits, glass and metal slag, clay pipe, and the remains of at least two large iron working crucibles with associated brick supports and lid. |
