Abstract: |
Addyman Archaeology were commissioned by CGMS Consulting to carry out historic building recording and monitoring at Comiston House Stables, Camus Avenue, Edinburgh, prior to its conversion and extension to form a dwelling house with double garage. The Stables served the nearby Comiston House, which was built in 1815. The stables' interior mostly related to their recent use as a social club. However, the east end of the main block was largely untouched and retained the original cobbled floor and evidence of the timber stalls. On the south elevation an armorial panel was found, thought to be of early C17th date, most likely relating to the earlier Comiston House depicted on Roy's Military Survey. The remains of a C16th century tower, later converted to a dovecot survive in the corner of the site. The monitoring of ground breaking works did not uncover any archaeological remains or artefacts. |
