Abstract:		 This report presents the results of an archaeological evaluation undertaken by AOC Archaeology Group on behalf of Places for People Scotland ahead of a residential development on land at Longstone, Edinburgh. The total development area totalled 2.5 ha and consisted of waste ground. The evaluation revealed that up to 3.0 m of top-soil had been previously dumped onto the proposed development area during the construction of nearby HMP Saughton. An area of hard-standing associated with a compound relating to the prison construction was visible within the north-east corner of the development. This had been stripped to natural. Part of the development area was formerly occupied by football pitches. No original ground surface was observed and it is likely that the area may have been partially stripped prior to being built up with made ground. No significant archaeological remains or features were observed during the evaluation.
