Description

A watching brief was held during the initial site clearance, test bore holes and trial holes on a redevelopment site. The boreholes produced no useful information. Part of the adjacent river bank at the south-west corner of the site was removed revealing a few tip lines. There was nothing of significance on the rest of the site.<1>
