Abstract:		 GUARD Archaeology Limited were commissioned by Persimmon Homes to undertake an archaeological monitored topsoil strip, map, and sample at Lang Loan, West Edge Farm, Edinburgh. This work was required as a condition of the planning permission (Planning Ref: 16/06036/PPP) for a residential development on the site. The work was undertaken between 14th May and 16th November 2018, and followed on from a metal detecting survey and trial trench evaluation carried out by GUARD Archaeology Limited between November and December 2017 (McNicol and Ruiz Nieto 2018). The metal detecting survey uncovered a mixture of 19th and 20th century metal finds, including horseshoes, square headed iron nails, and iron agricultural fragments. The trenched evaluation uncovered a number of features relating to quarrying activity across the site. As a result of this previous phase of archaeological investigation, a total area amounting to 45,148 m2 (approximately 69 % of the development area) was stripped of topsoil to establish the extent of the archaeological features on site. This revealed a large number of features associated with nineteenth century quarrying activity in the area, as well as medieval agricultural features, in the form of a series of rig and furrow, and an 1863 gold half sovereign.
