Abstract: |
Addyman Archaeology undertook a watching brief during the planting of 30 standard trees. This planting completed the landscaping works associated with the construction of a network of paths through open land to the north and east of the Royal Infirmary Edinburgh, Little France, Edinburgh. The planting involved the excavation of 30 holes for the trees spread out along the sides of the path network. A metal detector survey of the spoil removed for the planting was also undertaken Most of the monitored areas revealed a homogenous and continuous plough soil across almost the whole areas of excavation, overlying subsoil and natural boulder clays below. No archaeological features were noted. A limited amount of pottery was observed during the excavations. This was all 19-20th century in origin and was generally not retained, with the exception two fragments, one decorated. No metal finds were recovered. |
