In December 1965, workmen of the Eastern Electricity Board opened up a hole (c.3ft. square x 6ft. deep in size) the footpath in Coast Road near the front gate of Yew Tree House (16 Coast Road). In the NE corner, at a depth of c.4ft. (c.1.2m), there was evidence of a floor or pavement c.4in. thick surfaced with red tesserae. The excavation was on an existing run of cable and the section had been previously disturbed when the original cable trench had been dug in the past. From its depth and position, the pavement would appear to be a continuation of the pavement, seen in the garden of Yew Tree House in 1961, to the east, immediately inside the front gate. The report records that it was located c.5ft from a section of the (same) pavement observed in 1961 by CAG.<1>
