Abstract:		 AOC Archaeology Group was commissioned by Morrison Construction Ltd to undertake a programme of works consisting of an archaeological evaluation and historic building recording on the phase 1 re-development of the Royal Edinburgh Hospital, Edinburgh. The development area consists of open land situated on the remains of the previous hospital grounds. The development area was 5 ha in size. A 10% archaeological evaluation was required equating to 5,500 linear metres (5000 m2). However this area was reduced by 50% due to the presence of live services, mature trees, a mature orchard, allotments and buildings currently in use. A total of 1,500 m2 was therefore excavated. The evaluation revealed the north of the site to have been built up with made ground. An original agricultural top-soil was present through the central portion of the site. This was overlain by a more recent garden soil related to the hospital grounds. Concurrent with the evaluation, an historic building recording exercise was undertaken on two 20th Century buildings (bowling green pavilion and ambulance centre) situated to the west and north-east of the hospital. No archaeological remains were discovered.
