Abstract:		 A historic building assessment and targeted archaeological excavation was carried out prior to the construction of student accommodation at Abbeyhill, Edinburgh. The historic building assessment recorded four separate buildings across the site. These buildings were all associated with the existing car dealership that had recently ceased trading. The oldest building on site was a converted tenement dating to the early-mid 19th century. The altered remains of a washhouse established in 1922 were also part of the complex. The two other buildings were purposely constructed for the dealership in the 1970's. Archaeological excavations were undertaken in two targeted areas. A small area to the east side of the site revealed the foundations of a 19th century tenement building. A much larger area was investigated to the west half of the site. The work in this area revealed up to three earlier phases of activity. A few surviving stone walls provided evidence of the earliest of these phases possibly relating to buildings of the late 18th century. Four stone-lined wells were also recorded, three of which were probably associated with the establishment of the Palace Brewery on the site in the early 19th century. A significant number of brick walls with concrete foundations plus a number of stone foundations were also thought to be associated with this phase. Further walls and floors were linked to the early 20th century alterations to the site as it was transformed into a cinema. The fourth well was also associated with this phase as it was thought to be associated with the washhouse established in 1922. Donald Wilson 2014
