Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation and subsequent excavation was undertaken by AOC Archaeology Group prior to the construction of a new residential and commercial development at 102 St. Leonard's Street, Edinburgh. The initial evaluation showed that a large part of the site had been truncated by the previous modern development. The earliest buildings depicted along the street frontage had all been removed by the previous development, and the site had clearly been reduced below the 18th and 19th century ground levels. However, the central portion of the development area showed potential for the survival of subterranean structures and an area measuring 30 m by 20 m around these features was stripped and excavated. The excavations revealed the surviving walls and floors of a 19th century warehouse cellars. The cellars were constructed on two levels with the Upper Area consisting of sandstone walls with bitumen and wooden floors whereas the Lower Area consisted of sandstone walls with sandstone flagstone flooring. In total, 23 rooms were distinguishable, with ten linking corridors, a large stairwell, six light wells, five hearths or fireplaces and three external entrances. Modern repairs and additions were visible throughout suggesting the buildings and rooms were altered and re-used, with some possibly blocked up and the floors removed for use elsewhere. With modern concrete used in the reparations it was not unusual that all of the material culture from the infilling deposits was modern in date.
