Abstract:		 In February 2012 AOC archaeology Group carried out an evaluation on land adjacent to Salamander Place, Edinburgh prior to its re-development for residential housing. The evaluation revealed the remains of 19th century structures relating to a former rope works and other buildings, particularly in the northern part of the site fronting onto Salamander Road. The rope works remains consisted of intermittently surviving sections of long stone-built walls which could be traced across a number of the evaluation trenches. Elsewhere evidence of former buildings comprised of stone and brick walls and floor surfaces. Following the completion of the evaluation, an open area excavation was undertaken to further expose the remains and thus enabling a more thorough understanding of the site in terms of the form, date, extent and function of the remains. The excavation exposed further areas of the rope works walls along with a limited number of internal structures. However excavation of the northern part of the site revealed a large 19th century multi-phased industrial complex consisting of a furnace, flues, chimney bases and other brick and stone built structures. These remains were sealed below a dump of late 19th century rubbish consisting of large quantities of ceramic fragments. In addition a number of large inter-cutting rubbish pits, one of which was entirely filled by stone ware bottles and two barrel lined pit were also located.
