Description
A test pit evaluation, comprising three test pits TP1 to TP3, each c.1m x 1m in area and c.20m apart, was undertaken at Lewis Gardens to inform the construction of a new boundary wall.

Test pit TP2 revealed modern and post-medieval contexts, including a cobbled surface, to a depth of 0.55m bcgl.<1>
