Abstract:		 A programme of archaeological works comprising watching brief, monitored strip/excavation and evaluation was carried out by GUARD Archaeology Ltd in advance of development at 13 Warriston Road. The development area has had several uses since the mid-eighteenth century, including use as agricultural land and as playing fields. The earliest demonstrable development of the site was in the early twentieth century, when a football ground was constructed. By 1933, the land was the location of three blocks of kennels and, most recently, was the site of a DIY store and associated parking. The present work followed an initial evaluation which uncovered several features of archaeological potential including the possible footings of a drystone wall/stone platform in the north/west area of the proposed development site. The work revealed no further features of archaeological potential other than the very degraded wall footing/stone platform discovered during the earlier evaluation phase. Several features including a concrete platform associated with the modern use of the site as a dog kennels was also uncovered. Artefacts included one small fragment of prehistoric pottery rim sherd, post medieval pottery fragment and animal bone. The prehistoric pottery was analysed and dated to the early Bronze Age; the later pottery provided a date range of late sixteenth to early twentieth century for activity on the site
