Abstract:		 An excavation was carried out of a proposed development site at the east side of Beaverbank Place, Edinburgh. The work was part of a programme of archaeological work as part of the planning conditions placed on the proposed development. The excavation followed on from a trial trenching evaluation carried out in April 2018 that recorded the presence of a series of tanning pits belonging to a 19th century tannery located in the south half of the site. The excavation was carried out in two parts for logistical reasons. The north area largely contained features associated with buildings depicted of maps from 1877 onwards. The early buildings were cleared from the area around 1910 and a garage was built on this part of the site by the 1930s. These buildings were not demolished until recently. The south area was dominated by the tannery built during the third quarter of the 19th century. It comprised around 100 tanning pits. There was some evidence of minor alterations to the pits over time and some later pits to the south had improved designs with drains built into the base of the pits. The tannery went out of use and was converted into a cooperage in the late 1930s or early 1940s. An earlier stone-line rectangular pit was uncovered below the tannery at the south end of the site. Although it is of unknown date, its fill contained 19th century pot sherds and it is thought to be related to Logie Mill located nearby.
