Abstract:		 The archaeological monitoring and recording of groundworks associated with the construction of a care unit located to the north of Foxholes Nursing Home was undertaken in order to fulfil a condition upon planning permission. The development was inside a former post-medieval walled garden. The majority of features observed were associated with this garden. These included a possible water feature, tree or shrub hollows and brick footings. Of particular note were two rows of nine pits, the remains of tree hollows which lined a path through the garden. A pit contained pottery sherds of Mid/Late Iron Age-2nd century AD date. This may have been related to a Roman cemetery discovered in the Kitchen Garden at Foxholes in the early 19th century.
