Two trial trenches (each 13m long x 1.8m wide) were excavated at 62 Military Road in March 2018. Trench T1 was excavated through four layers. A thick layer of modern demolition debris (L6, c.0.7m thick) sealed buried modern topsoil (L7, c.0.1-0.15m thick). Beneath the topsoil, there was a layer of make-up (L8, c.0.25m thick) sealing natural (L5, encountered at a depth of c.1.1m below current ground level). A short E to W linear feature F2, possibly a ditch or pit, was defined towards the road frontage, measuring c.0.6m wide by a shallow 0.1m deep. The feature contained three sherds of medieval pottery dated from 14th- to 15th/early 16th-century. F2 was cut by a modern linear (F1), possibly a ditch, aligned NW to SE and measuring c.0.8m wide x 0.18m deep. A significant part of the trench contained the remains of a large demolished cellar (F3), which would have been part of the demolished buildings of 58-60 Military Road. Bricks from the backfill of the demolition suggested the cellar had been constructed in the mid to late 19th century. Trench T2 was excavated through five layers. Modern demolition debris (L1, c.0.25m thick) sealed a modern dump or make-up layer (L2, c.0.25m thick). Beneath this there was a make-up layer (L3, c.0.2m thick, probably the same as L8 in T1) and subsoil (L4, c.0.06m thick) sealing natural (L5, encountered at a depth of c.0.75m below current ground level). No archaeological remains were encountered in T2.<1>
