Abstract: |
A historical buildings appraisal was carried out at King's Stables Road, Edinburgh along with documentary reserach to assess the character extent and present layout of the former Kings Stable Road Complex. The report combined historical research in order to determine the historical significance of the buildings and mitigate against future site re-development of the site. An archaeological test pitting evaluation was carried out. The test pitting identified probable medieval soil deposits at a depth of between 1.4m and 1.9m below the current ground surface. These results are in accordance with an earlier evaluation carried out immediately to the west, which identified similar deposits at a depth of between 1.5m and 1.7m below the current ground surface (Henderson and Wilson 2014). A number of pieces of bone, horn and wood were recovered. |
