Abstract: |
Archaeological monitoring was required on all groundworks associated with the construction of student flats in the courtyard of Meadow Court, Edinburgh. A number of foundation trenches were excavated along with an attenuation tank trench and associated pipe trenches. The results of the monitoring provided evidence that the ground level across the site had already been reduced and levelled. As a result the only archaeological remains left in situ were a stone-lined well probably associated with the Georgian gardens and also used by the 19th century distillery. The lower half of the western wall of the distillery was also visible in the Moncrieff Terrace gardens where it forms the boundary wall between the garden and Meadow Court. |
