Abstract:		 ARCHAS Cultural Heritage Ltd were contracted to undertake a programme of archaeological mitigation in advance of a proposed development of the existing Seafield Waste Refuse Site at Fillyside Road on the eastern side of Edinburgh. The client proposes to significantly redevelop the existing Waste Refuse Site, providing welfare, storage and parking facilities. The archaeological works followed the placement of a planning condition upon the proposed development by CECAS. The condition required that 5% of the proposed development area be systematically assessed for archaeological remains through a programme of archaeological evaluation. This phase of works was to take place in advance of development and specifically target 19th century drainage and irrigation ditches. Due to an increasing number of constraints on site, with the agreement of the client, ARCHAS and CECAS, a watching brief was maintained during preliminary works to locate services and remove concrete capping across site. Following the watching brief, the archaeological evaluation involved the mechanical excavation of 6 evaluation trenches. Excavation of the trenches revealed the site to contain substantial deposits of levelling and made ground, in places over 2.50m deep, confirming this pattern across the proposed development area. While undisturbed natural subsoil was revealed in two of the trenches, this was at a depth well below that required by the development. Although early drainage features were targeted, no significant archaeological features or deposits were recorded.
