Abstract:		 Wardell Armstrong Archaeology (WAA) was commissioned by Wardell Armstrong LLP, to undertake an archaeological watching brief at Towerbank Primary School, Figgate Bank, Portobello, Edinburgh (NGR NT 30642 74099). The watching brief was required as a fulfilment of a condition of planning consent for the construction of a single-storey dining room extension at Tower Bank Primary School. The watching brief was undertaken in accordance with a written scheme of investigation (WSI; Railton 2016) produced as a result of consultation with John Lawson, Archaeology Officer at The City of Edinburgh Council Archaeology Service. The archaeological watching brief monitored all excavations associated with the new development. The only possible feature of archaeological interest were traces of a former sandstone wall likely to be the north-western wall of a building likely to have dated to the early 19th century at least, and demolished between 1905 and 1914. Unstratified finds noted from the vicinity also dated to the late 19th or early 20th century. No finds or features of earlier origin were encountered, though the natural was observed in the area, at a depth of 0.6m below the ground surface.
