Abstract: |
An application for development by Heriot-Watt University for the construction of a maintenance shed and associated landscaping and service trenches at Heriot-Watt Campus, Edinburgh was submitted to The City of Edinburgh Council. A condition was attached to the planning permission (16/00915/FUL) that required a programme of archaeological works to be agreed prior to the start of development. This condition was not met and as such a programme of trial trench evaluation was agreed with the City of Edinburgh Council Archaeology Service (CECAS) as an enforcement order to the original condition. In accordance with a Written Scheme of Investigation (WSI), BHC Ltd on behalf of Heriot-Watt University commissioned Headland Archaeology to undertake these works. This report presents the findings of the trial trench evaluation and monitoring of the associated works. The works took place on 3rd August 2016 and comprised excavation of two trenches covering a combined area of 310m2 within the proposed development area. A series of modern agricultural field drains were exposed in both trenches, but no other features of archaeological significance were present. In light of these results, the archaeological potential of the development area is considered to be low. |
