Abstract:		 A programme of archaeological works was required by Persimmon Homes East Scotland and Charles Church Scotland in respect to a proposed development on land at Tennant Street, Edinburgh. The site at Tennant Street lies within an area thought to have been used by English and Scots forces as a battery and temporary fort named Mount Somerset during the Siege of Leith in 1560. The monitored topsoil strip revealed up to 1 m of made ground and former topsoil overlying the natural sand. The area had several agricultural furrows running E-W through the site dating to the post-medieval period, and there was evidence of modern truncation along the northern edge. The southern edge of a possible ditch with gently sloping sides was also uncovered along this edge but the limits of the excavation area made it impossible to investigate further, and the modern truncation along the western edge had also impacted upon it. No artefacts were recovered from the feature. The watching brief did not uncover any significant archaeological features. No further archaeological works are recommended.
