Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was carried out during the excavation of cable trenches associated with the installation of new street lights along the paths across the west end of Leith Links. This followed the discovery of a human bone during initial works. Several bones were retrieved during the trenching. None of these bones were articulated burials, most of them appears to come from charnel pits, representing the re-burial of bones from graves disturbed during construction work in this area. A substantial stone wall, 1.3m wide, was uncovered in the trench some 12m to the east of Wellington Place. There are no records of any structure at this location on any maps and the may therefore pre-date the 19th century. |
