Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation and metal detecting survey was carried out by GUARD Archaeology Ltd on land around the buildings of the former Roslin Institute prior to development for residential housing. The trial trench evaluation recorded a number of archaeological features. These included linear cuts and fills, possibly associated with drainage and or earlier field boundaries and a demolished wall of probable late nineteenth/early twentieth century date. Numerous large fragments of Scottish Medieval White Gritty Ware pottery were recovered from the fill of a slightly curvilinear cut feature. A buckle of probable sixteenth/seventeenth century date and a carpenters or wood carving axe was recovered during the metal detecting survey, no finds directly associated with the Battle of Roslin were recovered. Tile and rubble drains were uncovered across most of the site along with numerous modern service trenches. |
