Abstract: |
A programme of archaeological works that included trial trenching and historic building recording at Niddire Mill Primary School, Edinburgh.was undertaken in order to evaluate the site's archaeological potential and record the upstanding building prior to redevelopment. The proposed site takes in land that is considered to have some potential for early historic, medieval and post-medieval remains due to its location close to the Niddrie Burn. One undated linear ditch cut into the geological subsoil was recorded during the evaluation. A section excavated through this feature provided no datable material from which an indicative date and purpose could be gained. It may represent anything from a prehistoric or medieval ditch to the remains of a post-medieval or later water channel. The building assessment identified several phases of construction of the school building that had 19th century origins. A photographic record was also taken of a listed memorial cross that is located to the front of the school. A number of late 20th century brick foundation walls were recorded as part of the evaluation. |
