Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by AOC Archaeology Group prior to a residential development on land next to Newmills Road, Balerno, Edinburgh. The evaluation involved the excavation of 69 trenches throughout the development area, totalling 3700 m2. Within five of the trenches, concentrated on the slope in the northern corner of the site, four pits and two ditches were revealed that may represent prehistoric activity on the site. Elsewhere, an area of peat that measures up to 1 m thick was encountered in the lowest lying part of site. This peat deposit had numerous post medieval drains and dykes running through it that were partly visible on the surface. This network of drains was also prevalent throughout the rest of the development area with a large number of rubble and ceramic tile drains encountered, alongside two probable field boundary ditches from the same period.
