Abstract: |
In 2016 Wardell Armstrong Archaeology was commissioned to undertake an archaeological watching brief at St. Marys RC primary school, 30 Links Gardens, Leith, Edinburgh (NGR NT 27750 75980). This was a result of formal planning consent being granted (Planning reference: 15/05101/FUL) with a condition attached to the decision notice (Condition 1), stipulating the need for archaeological investigation of the site prior to the development of a single storey, 2 classroom building with ancillary accommodation. The previous and on-going archaeological works undertaken by Wardell Armstrong Archaeology at St Marys primary school, consist of an evaluation and open area excavation. These investigations revealed both coffined and shrouded human burials indicating that there was considerable potential for the significant below ground archaeology associated with the burial of human remains during the placement of services within the school grounds. The archaeological watching brief was undertaken on the 7th of July 2016. A total of two areas were excavated in advance of services associated with the proposed development being installed. The watching brief revealed levelling deposits likely associated with the construction of the school. Each area was excavated to the depth required to accommodate a new service. No archaeological remains were identified within the study area. |
