NT 266 737 As a result of the redevelopment of the site, a programme of archaeological works was undertaken in January
2004. A historic building survey of the clock tower revealed that few structural features relating to the building's original function remained. Modification was mainly in the form of blocked or inserted openings. The contemporary associated brewery buildings had been demolished. Monitoring of groundworks associated with the development of the clock tower revealed no archaeological features.
Reports lodged with Edinburgh SMR and the NMRS.
