An archaeological watching brief was carried out during the excavation of foundation beams for two building footprints and their associated drain runs and soak-aways. The footings and the soak-aways were excavated into natural glacial deposits and were dug through a modern/post-medieval dark earth and a light yellow brown silty sub-soil. The nature of the material observed is consistent with rubbish deposition that would be expected from activity in the yards of the post medieval properties that front on to East Street. No archaeological features were observed during the course of the watching brief. <1> This work followed a trial trenched evaluation in March-April 2005 (CAT Report 314). <2>
