Abstract:		 Headland Archaeology (UK) Ltd was commissioned to undertake a programme of archaeological trial trenching at Muirhouse, Edinburgh. The site is the location of a former Silverlea Nursing Home, constructed in the 1960s. Previous to this the site formed part of the site of Muirhouse House, a 16th century manor house partially demolished in the early 19th century, and contained the site of the estates late 18th century (home) farmstead. This farmstead was converted in the 1960s into a riding school subsequently demolished in recent years. A total of 10 trial trenches were excavated revealing deep deposits of made ground across much of the evaluated area. Although no remains of the original Muirhouse House were uncovered elements of the houses' estate and ground were discovered including the remains of the pond depicted on the 1853 1st Edition map, post-medieval-19th century estate track and probable boundary wall plus two stone drains were exposed. The site of the historic farmstead/riding school was not evaluated at this stage though the visible remains of concrete floors and brick foundation walls were noted.
