Abstract: |
Headland Archaeology Ltd undertook a watching brief on the excavation of two trenches associated with the construction of two lift shafts for the raised walkway at the Calton Road entrance to Waverley Station, Edinburgh. Two deep trenches were excavated at the base of the raised walkway, one to the outer side of the station and one inside the station building. The external trench revealed part of an earlier platform edge relating to a late 19th century layout of the station. A second platform was exposed within Trench 2 also relating to an earlier configuration of the station No features relating to the pre-railway period (1850's) of the area were uncovered during the watching brief and no artefacts of archaeological significance were recovered.
