Abstract: |
Headland Archaeology (UK) Ltd undertook a watching brief and excavation south-west of Gogar Castle to the west of Edinburgh. The work was commissioned by Quarry Investments as part of mitigation for enforcement action required by the City of Edinburgh Archaeological Services (CECAS) in order to establish if any archaeology was present on site, and if so, to what extent it had been impacted by the development. The works comprised cleaning and recording of already exposed sections at the southern limit of the site, and monitored stripping of three targeted areas across the site. The exposed sections revealed a foundation cut of a wall to the west of the two apartment blocks and a further ditch, possibly associated with a foundation cut to the east of the apartments. A ditch along with the remains of a stone wall were also recorded on the same alignment further to the east within the easternmost monitored topsoil strip areas. The monitoring at the north of the development area revealed a stone-built culvert in association with a large linear ditch, along with a small pit. All identified features are of potentially 16th to 17th century date. No other archaeological features or deposits were identified. |
