Abstract: |
AOC Archaeology Group under took an archaeological watching brief at Clifton Hall School, Newbridge, Edinburgh. The archaeological works were initiated to safeguard the archaeological resource from any adverse impacts from groundworks associated with the construction of a temporary assembly building. Archaeological monitoring was undertaken on the excavation of foundation pads and service trenches on 5th and 13th July 2011. The works were conducted in agreement with the City of Edinburgh Council Archaeology Service (CECAS) and in accord with the principles of SPP (Scottish Government 2010) and PAN 42 (SOEnD 1994). Twenty square foundation pads, varying in size from 0.8 m square to 1.3 m square, and three linear service trenches, running from the existing school towards the temporary assembly building were excavated by mini-digger. These groundworks were monitored by an archaeological Watching Brief Officer. The foundation pads revealed that the existing topsoil covered levelling and madeground deposits, most commonly comprising disturbed topsoil, with occasional dumps of rubble and ashy material. In the area of service trenches the remains of a single wall were found. Mike Roy (AOC Archaeology Group) 2011. |
