Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by AOC Archaeology Group prior to a residential development on land next to Gilmerton Dykes Road, Gilmerton, Edinburgh. The evaluation revealed disturbance from previous development of the site with the subsoil in areas having been excavated by modern machinery. Other areas did show survival of a former plough soil, which was covered in modern made ground throughout. Two furrows were revealed in one of the trenches that indicate post medieval agricultural use of the site. No significant archaeological features or artefacts were revealed throughout the development area. |
