Abstract: |
A programme of archaeological monitoring and building recording was undertaken in advance of a small development within the grounds of Liberton House, Edinburgh. The excavations of an 8m long foundation trench and two small test pits revealed the entire footprint of the development to comprise up to 1.5 m of made ground. Within this make up a significant quantity of 19th/20th century ceramic fragments, bottles and brick were recovered. No negative archaeological features were revealed and no finds of medieval or post-medieval date were recovered. The survey of the upstanding stone wall affected by the development revealed a number of minor features and possible evidence indicating two phases of development. The wall also included a significant amount of repair including a brick and cement capping. The wall is thought to represent one elevation of a long rectagular building first depicted on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey. D Wilson, Headland Archaeology 2011. |
