Twenty-five visits were made during groundworks associated with the building of the new three-storey school block. This included large soak aways, a septic tank, and drains. The foundation pads for the school block were shallow and generally did not go deeper than those of the previous building on the site. However, two large deep holes for stanchion posts for the new block were monitored. Natural sand and gravel was reached in most trenches.<1> Four possible features were recorded in the sections of some trenches. In soak away 8, at the front (east side) of the new block, a pit was seen in section which may be of glacial origin. A foul-drain trench dug between the existing science and technology building and the new block exposed two parallel ditches on an east to west alignment. These features were cut into natural sand and gravel, were 1m wide and were filled by buff grey clayey silt, without any finds. They were sealed by a blackish grey layer that contained modern brick. To the south of the existing science and technology building, a drain trench exposed some disturbance which is likely to date from the 19th or 20th century.
