Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation and watching brief was carried out by GUARD Archaeology Ltd at 376 Gilmerton Road, Edinburgh prior to the proposed redevelopment of the site by ALDI Stores Ltd. Cobblestone and brick floor surfaces along with a sandstone wall and a brick built structure were recorded during the evaluation. Deep deposits of infill and demolition debris some over 4.1 m deep were found at the north west end of the development area. Some of the surviving structures, walls and floors may relate to the historic eighteenth century Moredun Mill that is known to have occupied part of the development site. During the subsequent archaeological watching brief further brick walls were revealed, of a likely mid twentieth century date, as well as a deposit of ceramic material originating from a local Edinburgh pottery the 'Holyrood Pottery' dating to the early 20th century. |
