Abstract: |
It has been found that the proposed development site has remained relatively unchanged since the medieval era, from when it was boggy farmland, one of the most extensively sewerage irrigated meadows in Scotland, used as pasture for cattle, and increasingly populated by dairy herds. From at least the 18th century, it appeared to lie in land associated with Fillyside. By 1949, it had succumbed to the industrialisation of the area and growth of Leith, and become largely occupied by a 'Refuse Disposal Works', referred to as a recycling centre some time after. There are no known archaeological remains within the proposed development area. The proposed development would not impact upon the setting of the two category C structures in the study area, or have an impact on the heritage significance of the six undesignated heritage assets within the study area. The impact on any on-site unknown buried archaeological assets cannot be defined. |
