Abstract: |
AOC Archaeology Group was commissioned by Axiom Project Services on behalf of their client to undertake an archaeological evaluation on a proposed development on the former City of Edinburgh Council Buildings at Shrubhill, Edinburgh. The development area consists of brownfield land situated on the western edge of the Leith Walk. . Four trenches equalling 122 linear metres were excavated; these revealed that the proposed development area had undergone significant truncation to a depth of three metres. Natural deposits of clay and sand were revealed in all trenches. No archaeological remains were discovered within the evaluation trenches however a surviving segment of cobbled [002] and railed [001] road probably relating to the Victorian era Middlefield Coach Works was observed within the north-west of the area incorporated into the existing ground surface. A subsequent site visit on the 16th of June was undertaken to clean and record these rails. |
