Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation undertaken in respect to a proposed development at Mansfield Road, Edinburgh (centred on NGR: NT 1612 6539). The development area measures approximately 12.5 ha in total. A 10% (6,200 linear metres) sample of the available area was to be investigated by the evaluation. However the presence of several over-head power-lines reduced the amount to 5,600 linear metres. A programme of geophysical survey identified a number of potential archaeological features. Upon evaluation these were found to be stone-holes and large rubble drains associated with modern cultivation. A 19th century tile-works was known to be located within the south-west corner of the development area, however, due to the presence of several overhead power-lines this was not available for evaluation. No significant archaeological remains were recorded within the development area. |
