Abstract: |
An archaeological desk-based assessment and evaluation was carried out at 349 Gorgie Road, Edinburgh. Cartographic evidence suggested that one of the 19th century buildings associated with Gorgie Mills extended into the proposed development area. Trial trenching identified a series of sandstone foundations. The most recent structure to occupy this footprint was a school building dating to the second half of the 20th century, but this was on a slightly different alignment and would not have required the heavy duty foundations identified during trial trenching. Therefore, it is considered that the features identified during the evaluation relate to the former mill building depicted on the 1855 Ordnance Survey map. Two undated linear cut features were also identified, but there were no other features, deposits or artefacts of archaeological significance identified. |
