Abstract:		 Three trenches were excavated across Leith Walk to lay electrical ducts. These were monitored under watching brief conditions to identify and record any features or deposits of archaeological significance. There was an emphasis on identifying siege works relating to the mid 16th century sieges of Leith and in particular the 1559-60 siege of Leith where siege works were constructed running across the route of Leith Walk. The trenches were to be excavated to 1.5m deep to try and get below the level of modern disturbance. However, full depth excavation was not possible in the western and eastern ends of the trenches as modern service pipes were encountered at shallow depth making deeper excavation impossible. The central sections of the trenches were largely clear of services and in the main could be excavated to full depth. One edge of a possible wide cut feature was identified but it was considered to be recent in date. No features of archaeological significance were identified.
