Abstract:		 Addyman Archaeology undertook a watching brief during the construction of a network of paths, through open land to the north and east of the Royal Infirmary Edinburgh, Little France, Edinburgh. The construction involved the stripping of topsoil along the line of the path as well as deeper trenching for service ducting running alongside some of the paths. Most of the monitored areas revealed a homogenous and continuous plough soil across almost the whole areas of trenching, overlying subsoil and natural boulder clays below. Only one feature was present, a deeply buried area of un-bonded rubble stone hardstanding; this was interpreted as bedding for a road. Although no dating evidence was recovered, as it is not depicted on the OS mapping of the late 19th century or later, it is most probably pre-19th century. To the east of the site a forested shelter belt was broken through to join with Greendykes road. Two un-bonded rubble stone boundary walls defining either side of the wooded area were located, although they were heavily collapsed and robbed. Again these do not show on mapping of the later 19th century so must predate this. Numerous finds were recovered, mostly pottery ranging in date from as early as the 12th-15th centuries, up to the19th/20th century, showing the plough soil to have been fertilised with domestic rubbish over a long period of time.
