Abstract:		 A programme of archaeological works was carried out for the Water of Leith Flood Prevention Scheme at Balerno Weir. The sluice gate was recorded by photography and plan drawing, and a test pit measuring 1m by 1m was excavated against the west pier of the sluice to a depth of 1.2m. The sluice gate was recorded and the excavation of the test-pit did not identify evidence of an earlier structure below the surviving sluice gate, although natural was not reached. An alignment of stones (004) was revealed in the test pit, situated on the surface of a stony clay deposit (003) however it seems likely that this deposit was redeposited natural and that the stones were part of infill around the piers following construction.
