NT 271 726 A watching brief was undertaken in December 2001 while contractors cut a deep pipe trench in the W of Holyrood Park, close to the boundary wall separating the park from Pollock Halls of Residence. The absence of archaeological features or finds in this area of the park may be the result of landscaping related to the building of the park road and footpath, or it may be that this area was simply left to agricultural or park activity.
