Abstract:		 An invasive evaluation took place prior to the construction of the National Performance Centre for Sports, at Heriot-Watt University, Riccarton Mains Road, Edinburgh. Sixteen trenches were excavated, eleven on the playing fields (938m²) adjacent to the Hearts Training Ground and five in the Walled Garden (140m²), once associated with Riccarton House. No features were recorded in the area of the playing fields. In the Walled Garden, a cobbled surface may equate to a path shown within the garden on historic maps. Other than a network of drains, no other features were recorded. A survey of the Walled Garden has shown that it is contemporary with the Gardner's Cottage that was built c1823. The Walled Garden is constructed of a uniform red brick laid in EGB. The principal north-west facing elevation has been constructed of both brick and courses of dressed sandstone. Three lean-to buildings (Buildings A-C) and an architecturally ornate former Gardener's Cottage (Building D) have been built against the exterior of the elevation.
