Abstract:		 Headland Archaeology Ltd was commissioned by Mr Ghaznawi to undertake a programme of trial trenching at Old Mill Lane, Edinburgh. The works were designed in response to a planning condition set by City of Edinburgh Council Archaeology Service. An existing 1950s house on the site had burned down, with a replacement under construction at the time of the fieldwork. The site lies immediately NE of the settlement of Nether Liberton, which was recorded as being in existence in the late 14th century. Four trenches were excavated around the new structure to test for the existence of archaeologically significant features. A single isolated cut was encountered to the south of the building. It was filled with loose mixed topsoil, ash, clay and stones and is assumed to be a waste pit, most likely relating to the construction of the 1950s house. No further remains were encountered, with geological sand and gravels found below 0.25-0.7m of compact stony clay/silt topsoil. A section of boundary wall to the SE of the site may date from the early 20th century or possibly earlier. J van Wessel, Headland Archaeology 2012.
