Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken at 396 Gorgie Road, Edinburgh in order to support an application for planning consent in advance of development for student accommodation. A total of five trenches were excavated, two of which were placed on the supposed site of Gorgie House. This was dated to the 17th century by the RCHAMS during a site visit prior to its demolition in 1937. These trenches contained the remains of a square building present on the 1855 Ordnance Survey 1st Edition map that is likely to be associated with the 19th century industrial buildings to the south and west. No trace of a medieval or early post-medieval structure was located and it is possible that Gorgie House was sited to the north-east, outwith the proposed development area. The remaining trenches uncovered the remains of a recently demolished early 19th Century building and an associated wooden structure. |
