Abstract: |
AOC Archaeology was commissioned by Carlsson Properties Ltd. to undertake an archaeological monitored topsoil strip on Land north-east of Figgate Street, Portobello, Edinburgh. The archaeological monitored topsoil strip was carried out on the 21st May 2018. The City of Edinburgh Council Archaeology Service required a programme of archaeological works as the plot lies within the Portobello Conservation Area and there was archaeological potential for post-medieval remains associated with the expansion, gentrification and tile and pottery industries of Portobello centred on Figgate Burn to the west of the site. The development area was approximately 250m2 of which approximately 200m2 was stripped under archaeological supervision. No archaeological features were identified within the development area. One pit was investigated but found to contain modern refuse material. The majority of the site had the remains of concrete slab, stone foundations and ceramic drains associated with the former 19th-20th century buildings identified from previous Ordnance Survey mapping and that were demolished in the 1970s. |
