Abstract:
Addyman Archaeology undertook Historic Building Recording at 61 Forrest Road, Edinburgh prior to the conversion of the former bank building into a restaurant; the building is a Category C Listed Building. The southern wall of the property is on the line of the 17th century Telfer Wall, a Scheduled Monument, part of Edinburgh's Town defences, and the western wall is the eastern wall of the southern extent of the Greyfriars graveyard known as the Covenanters' Prison, a Category A Listed Building. Considering the importance of those features, historic building recording was conducted, with Structure from Motion/Multi-View Stereo model (SfM/MVS) recording of all exposed stone masonry. It appears that the Telfer Wall was truncated when No 61 was built and no trace of it was found inside; the western wall appears to be a completely new build when it was constructed in 1872 and no evidence of the former Covenanters' Prison could be found within it. It appears likely that the western wall reused stone from these earlier features. The investigations revealed a number of features that were blocked latterly: two fireplaces, an opening for running services to the tenement above and a still in use foul water downpipe within the fabric of the wall.
