Abstract:		 This report represents the results of an archaeological evaluation undertaken by AOC Archaeology Group on land proposed for residential development at North Kirkliston, Edinburgh. The work was commissioned by Walker Group, CALA Homes East Limited and Barratt East Scotland. The archaeological works were designed to satisfy the requirements of the local planning authority, as advised by the City of Edinburgh Council Archaeology Service (CECAS), and are in accordance with the principles inherent in NPPG 5 (SOEnd 1994) and PAN 42 (SOEnd 1994a). The objective of the work was to determine the existence of any buried archaeological remains by means of a programme of trial trenching. The work was carried out during June and July 2008 and was conducted according to the terms of a Written Scheme of Investigation (Dunbar 2008), which was agreed by CECAS, and approved by the planning authority. The evaluation consisted of 78 trenches totalling 23,500 m². Upon the initial discovery of possibly significant features and the recovery of an unstratified polished stone axe-head, it was agreed with CECAS and the client that specific areas should be to topsoil stripped. This resulted in a 75 m by 50 m (3,750 m2) area within Field A and a 100 m by 100 m (10,000 m2) area in Field B being opened. This work revealed a suite of 21 pit features situated on higher ground within Field B. Artefacts of archaeological significance included a probable Langdale Type IV polished stone axe and a flint flake recovered from a pit feature. The features possessed no coherent structural plan. The recovered small finds assemblage suggested the mixing of feature fills with artefacts from different periods. It seems probable that a major proportion of the features were probably relatively modern. Of the other features one contained a flint flake. Rob Engl (AOC Archaeology Group) 2008.
