Abstract: |
A desk-based assessment and standing building survey (Level 2) was carried out by CFA Archaeology Ltd prior to alterations at 51 Abbeyhill, Edinburgh. The building is first depicted on Kirkwood's plan of 1817 and on ordnance Survey Town Plans from 1852 as part of the Abbeyhill Foundry complex. Currently the building comprises a two storey sandstone building with a pitched slated roof on a floor plan with a trapezoidal angled front which faces the street. The front has a central door and two vertical windows and features chamfered quoins on the corner with the the side elevation which faces south. The interior features have been largely stripped, although traces of a later loft floor are evident, and a plinth for a stove. The roof truss has been renewed and covered with re-used or original slates. Stuart Mitchell, CFA Archaeology 2012. |
