Abstract: |
This report presents the results of an archaeological evaluation undertaken in respect of a proposed development at Brunswick Road, Edinburgh (NGR: NT 266 747). The development area measures 1.625 ha in total of which the overwhelming majority is covered in reinforced concrete. Evaluation trenches were targeted over farm and rail buildings visible on the1st Ordnance Survey map of 1853 and the 2nd Edition Ordnance survey map of 1897. The evaluation revealed that the majority of the site had undergone significant truncation with no in situ original deposits remaining. Archaeological remains in the form of stone flooring were recorded underlying the raised concrete foundation platform associated with the latest building known to occupy the site. This flooring is associated with a rail shed visible on 2nd Edition Ordnance survey map of 1897. Upright supports for racking were also observed. These were also probably associated with the rail shed. Rob Engl, AOC Archaeology 2012. |
