Abstract:		 This report presents the results of a programme of trial trenching undertaken in advance of a proposed housing development in Wester Hailes, Edinburgh. The archaeological evaluation was required by the City of Edinburgh Council, to better inform decisions made about the planning condition. Research had identified that a quarry, dating to at least the mid-19th century, had previously occupied the site of the proposed development. The excavation was therefore intended to re-locate the site of the quarry, with a view to understanding the impacts of any future development. Field inspection revealed that outcropping stone marked the site of the quarry, matching the area identified by the research. Trenching, however, proved that the ground in front of the outcrop had been affected by the construction of a tower block in the late 1970s, the deep concrete and brick footings having caused a high level of disturbance across the site.
