Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation on the site of a proposed industrial development and associated works at Newbridge Industrial Estate, Edinburgh was undertaken in advance of determination of a planning application. A combination of trenches and test pits established that an old ground surface was present beneath an area of deep made ground in the northern half of the proposed development area. No made ground was present in the southern half of the proposed development area. Field drains and cultivation furrows were present across the whole site indicating that little modern truncation of the underlying glacial deposits had taken place during the construction of the surrounding industrial estate. However, despite this no significant archaeological remains were encountered during the evaluation, outwith medieval/post medieval rig and furrow; though it was not possible to fully evaluate the northern part of the site due to the safety concerns arising from trenching into the deep made ground.
