Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation of the corridor of the Edinburgh Tram Scheme had brought to light an area where further archaeological investigation was required (Sneddon and Will 2006). Two excavations were undertaken at Gogar Mains. Site 1 revealed significant archaeological remains in the form of several structures which possibly ranged in date from the Neolithic to the Iron Age. These structures included a possible Bronze Age burial, a palisaded enclosure, five possible timber-built round houses, a possible corn-drying kiln and windbreak and a dense concentration of post-holes and pits surrounding a corn-drying kiln. Site 1A revealed plough marks and a small number of features. In addition a standing building survey was also carried out of a Second World War pill box which was due for demolition. |
