Abstract: |
A watching brief was carried out by CFA Archaeology during groundbreaking work for the construction of a new conservatory in the former location of a conservatory and orangery within the grounds of Hermiston House, Calder Road Edinburgh. The watching brief recorded the excavation of foundation trenches which removed garden soils up to a depth of 0.5m. Overburden within the footprint of the new development comprised disturbed garden soil. This was removed to the required formation level (c0.3m below the previous ground level) revealing the continuing south-east facing elevation of the existing garden wall. The foundation footing of the former glasshouse partition was seen in plan. The masonry remains comprised two courses of brickwork embedded into a concrete pour 0.75m in width. These remains correlated with a visble scar on the south-east elevation of the garden wall. |
