Abstract:		 A pit containing disarticulated human bone was uncovered during a small excavation on St Andrew Place, Leith. The bones represented at least two adults and three juveniles which were dated to around the 15th century AD. It is suggested that the remains could relate to one of several plague epidemics that struck Leith in the late 15th and early 16th centuries. It is likely that these bones had been removed from their original burial place during the construction of adjacent roads in the 19th century. Fragments of human bone were also found throughout the made ground deposits of the excavation area and two adjacent monitored trenches. This is likely the result of ground disturbance by modern service trenches.
