Abstract:		 Addyman Archaeology undertook a watching brief at Gilmerton Road, Edinburgh during topsoil stripping for the construction of a new cycle access ramp; the compound area to the east was also monitored during the topsoil strip. Gilmerton Road lies on the route of a Roman road associated with the Roman fort at Elginhaugh. Traces of broad rig and furrow cultivation were observed running east to west across the area of the site; furrows were up to 2m wide and 6-7m apart. In the ramp area a substantial industrial linear feature was recorded, running from the north-west, at the junction with the railway cutting to south-east across the site. This was 9m wide, with vertical sides. The upper fill comprised 0.2m of ash and cinders and was very soft; the lower fill was dark brown silty clay. The feature had vertical sides and appeared to be at least 1m in depth; it petered out at the north-west end. It contained 19th/20th century ceramic within the fill and is thought to relate to mining/quarrying in the area, as depicted on OS maps on the opposite side of the road or to the construction of the railway line itself.
