Abstract: |
Addyman Archaeology undertook a programme of archaeological excavation at the site of Panmure House, Canongate, Edinburgh, from 10th January to 17th March 2017 for Edinburgh Business School, in advance of renovation and alteration of the existing 1690s building. The excavations revealed substantial medieval and post-medieval structures and strata in four broad phases. Phase I consists of features and deposits predating the construction of Panmure House, and comprises 13th to 16th century remains, including midden and garden soil deposits and interrelated, often intercutting pit features, many clay-lined, as well as early burgage-plot boundary features. Well-stratified faunal, shell, metal and ceramic assemblages were recovered from these features. Phase II includes the construction of Panmure House itself, involving the restructuring of spatial organisation in the area, and the installation of a stone-lined well, preserved to at least 7m in depth. Phase III remains relate to the later use of Panmure House and include the installation of the stair-tower in the re-entrant of the L-plan House; the partial remains of outlying stone-built structures on the southern margins of the site; and multiple features associated with the change of use of the site to a foundry in 1838. Phase IV alterations in the mid-20th century were also recorded. |
