Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation and watching brief was undertaken on the site of the proposed new Boroughmuir High School at Dundee Street at Dundee Street and Viewforth in Fountainbridge, Edinburgh. The evaluation revealed no in situ features that could be deemed to relate to the mid 19th century 'Viewforth Works' identified in the historic mapping (and demolished in the1970s to make way for a new brewery). A watching brief on demolition works in the northeast corner of the site identified remnant sandstone wall foundations that could be tied to later 19th century Ordnance survey mapping. Much of the 2015 season of watching brief identified deep deposits of made ground throughout the site. |
