Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	ARCHAS Cultural Heritage Ltd were contracted by Lundin Homes Ltd to undertake a programme of archaeological mitigation in advance of a proposed development of a greenfield site at Dundas Dairy, Dundas Home Farm, on the western fringe of the City of Edinburgh. The archaeological works followed the placement of a planning condition upon the proposed development by City of Edinburgh Council Archaeology Service. The condition required that the eastern part of the site be subject to a metal detecting survey, while 10% of the proposed development area be systematically assessed for archaeological remains through a programme of archaeological evaluation. Both phases of work were to take place in advance of the proposed development. The metal detecting survey revealed very few artefacts of any significance. A coin, impacted pistol ball, and medieval ceramic sherd with PB glaze were all notable, but the paucity of artefacts recovered may indicate a lack of archaeological activity in the area. The archaeological evaluation involved the mechanical excavation of 27 evaluation trenches across the footprint of the proposed development. Excavation of the trenches revealed ploughsoil overlying natural subsoil deposits with the only features found to be post-medieval and modern field drains.
