Abstract:		 Headland Archaeology (UK) Ltd undertook a programme of archaeological works on a site neat Lochrin Place, 19 West Tollcross, Edinburgh. The work was required to meet a planning condition (Planning Ref 11/03094/FUL) placed on a proposed student accommodation development. Historical map evidence shows that the development area lies to the north of the former Lochrin basin and overlies industrial buildings dating from the mid 19th century which included structures associated with a distillery, brewery and iron foundry. Excavation revealed that some wall foundations, floor surfaces and machine bases of the various phases of buildings survive, although the site had been heavily truncated in the central area. A considerable depth of garden soil was encountered at a depth of c. 3.7m beneath the existing ground surface. The gardens shown on early 19th century maps of the site could have given rise to these conditions. Two deposits of buried horticultural soil were visible; the upper deposit contained pottery dating to the 17th to early 18th century. The underlying deposit was lighter in colour and contained pottery dating from the 12th to 15th century. A large ditch, pits and postholes were cut through the earlier garden soil.
