Abstract: |
Archaeological monitoring was undertaken while five test pits were excavated along the east embankment of the road between the north and south roundabouts at Kaim Head in Holyrood Park. The purpose of the test pits was to determine whether there was bedrock within the embankment along the route of a proposed cycle track to the north of the existing pavement. Bedrock was only seen in the southernmost pit, roughly halfway between the two roundabouts. A live electricity cable was revealed in the base of the other four pits showing that the area had been previously disturbed. Nothing of archaeological interest was discovered. |
