Archaeological monitoring and recording was carried out in 2017 during the excavation of a new drainage connection in advance of the conversion of a building into an annex (CBC planning application 163176). The trench measured 9m long x 0.3m wide. From modern ground level the trench depth ranged from 0.3m deep at the western end, to 0.7m deep at the eastern end. The trench cut through modern tarmac, block paving and associated sub-base (L1, c.0.16-0.18m) and modern made ground (L2, c.0.13-0.5m thick). No archaeological features or finds were uncovered.<1>
