Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief and subsequent strip map and sample programme of archaeological work was carried out by GUARD Archaeology on a proposed development on a brownfield site formerly occupied by post-war housing at Craigmillar in Edinburgh. A total of 19 lime mortar bonded sandstone wall remnants were found below a shallow layer of topsoil. The walls formed parts of three demolished buildings. Patchy remnants of mortar floor surfaces associated with the buildings survived across the western part of site. Buildings first appear in this area of the site on the Ordnance Survey map published in 1852 as a series of four detached buildings, the Ordnance Survey map published in 1934 depicts a series of six semi-detached buildings suggesting that the site has been remodelled during its occupation. The building remains recorded during the archaeological work most closely match the series of buildings depicted on the Ordnance Survey map published in 1895 and probably originated as buildings, perhaps tied cottages, attached to Niddrie Mains Farm, part of the Niddrie Estate owned by the Wauchope's who eventually gave their land to the city.
