Abstract: |
ARCHAS Cultural Heritage Ltd were commissioned by Mr Graeme Kelly of Walker Healthcare to undertake a programme of archaeological mitigation in advance of the redevelopment of 4-10 Cramond Place in Cramond, Edinburgh. The mitigation involved watching briefs conducted during the demolition of existing buildings and monitoring of a series of geotechnical trial pits around the site. Walker Healthcare are proposing to construct a 74 bed care home. The site proposed for development lies near the Scheduled Monument (SM Number 2526) Cramond Roman Fort and Settlement to the north and east of the development site. As such, the site was determined by City of Edinburgh Archaeological Service (hereafter CECAS) as having archaeological potential. 3 dwelling houses that covered the northern sector of the site were demolished and the removal of their foundations archaeologically monitored as was the excavation of 10 geotechnical test pits placed spatially across the site. Following this, a programme of trial trenching was undertaken across the site during which, a total of 13 evaluation trenches were excavated. These trenches provided coverage of just over 10% of the total site area, exclusive of the footprints of the modern buildings. |
