Abstract:		 Three trenches were excavated across the junctions at the Foot of Leith Walk in order to lay electrical ducts during the Leith programme. These were monitored under watching brief conditions to identify and record any features or deposits of archaeological significance. There was an emphasis on the possibility of identifying siege works relating to the mid 16th century siege of Leith. The trenches were to be excavated to 1.5m deep in order to get below the level of modern service disturbance. However, full depth excavation was always not possible as live modern service ducts and pipes were encountered at various depths making deeper excavation impossible. Trenches 1 and 2a were heavily truncated by services and no features of archaeological significance were identified. In Trench 2b a possible wall was found at a depth of around 1.25m from the surface. This feature was abutted by a compact deposit which may have been a surface. This lay below a possible midden deposit that contained ceramics dating to around the 16/17th century, although it is possible that the ceramics were residual so should not be taken as secure dating. No features thought to relate to the siege works were identified
