Abstract: |
AOC Archaeology Group was commissioned by GM Mackenzie Ltd to undertake an archaeological monitored top-soil strip and subsequent excavation on Plot 9, a parcel of derelict land associated with a large scale commercial development at Newbridge, Edinburgh (NGR NT 12054 73248). The archaeological works sought to ascertain the extent and nature of any archaeological remains within the area. However, the site was top-soil stripped without adequate archaeological supervision. After consultation with Mr John Lawson (CECAS) it was decided to clean the site by a combined programme of machine and hand cleaning. The top-soil strip revealed a small number of sterile pits as well as a cluster of linear ditch features located at the south-western most corner of the Plot. All of the features found had been truncated due to the prior topsoil stripping. It is likely that these features represent a northerly extension of the medieval field system recorded by AOC Archaeology during 2007 and 2014. |
