Abstract: |
This report presents the results of phase 3 of an archaeological evaluation undertaken by CFA Archaeology Ltd (CFA) in May 2013 on land between Canongate, Holyrood Road and St John Street in the City of Edinburgh (NGR: NT 26295 73690) (Fig. 1). The work was commissioned by Balfour Beatty. This phase of evaluation has confirmed that: 1. Foundations and discontinuous interior surfaces of the 19th century brewery buildings survive in the eastern side of the southern end of the site close to the surface. The remains have been extensively damaged through their demolition and the later use of the site. No in situ deposits were identified and the building remains were mostly covered in demolition material. 2. The depth to the natural subsurface varies across the site. The evidence from the evaluations support that of the site investigation which suggests that the natural subsurface rises towards the present day surface quite rapidly as one moves north from the southern boundary wall. The evaluation also supports the theory that the deeper soil deposits are constrained to the southernmost part of the site. |
