Abstract:		 Addyman Archaeology was commissioned to undertake an archaeological evaluation of below ground deposits within and in the vicinity of Panmure House, Canongate, Edinburgh. This was undertaken in advance of a proposed repair and extension of the structure. The building works are to involve the reduction of the interior and exterior ground levels as well as extensive underpinning of the building, works that are likely to have a considerable impact on any surviving archaeology. A total of seven evaluation trenches were excavated. Five of these were within the basement areas (trenches 2-6), one within the cobbled driveway to the southern exterior (trench 1), and one against the exterior north wall foot (trench 7). Within two of the trenches within the building (trenches 2 and 4 within the eastern parts of the structure) a number of historic features were found, these deep pits containing C13th -C17th pottery and a stone-built drain within the former kitchen, perhaps of C18th date. In the area of the other trenches (trenches 3, 5, 6 and 7) further to the west it was revealed that levels had been considerably reduced in the 1950s, into underlying natural deposits and an anomalously high outcropping of bedrock. The only prospect for archaeological in this area would be discrete features deeply cut down, such as pits, wells, etc. Within trench 1 to the exterior deep deposits of made ground were found from which some early pottery was recovered.
