Abstract:
Excavations at St Mary's Star of the Sea in Leith in 2004, aimed at locating the foundations of Balmerino House (built in 1631 and demolished in the 1970s) revealed medieval deposits into which four inhumation burials had been dug, containing the remains of at least six individuals. All appear to have been adult males, and to have been buried between 1440 and 1660, probably after the mid-sixteenth century. The presence of disarticulated bone suggests the presence of earlier burials in the area.
