Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken which revealed building and demolition activity had taken place across the site over the last two hundred years. The dumping of a large amount of rubble and burnt material, probably intended to raise the level of the yard above the risk of flooding had also occurred. The only area not affected was the interior of the recently demolished building in the south-eastern corner of the yard. This appeared to have filled with soil during the period of its existence. Due to the depth of modern dumping and disturbance, most of the aims of this investigation were not realised. No traces of medieval buildings, ancillary structures or boundaries were uncovered. Although it was possible that some truncation of the archaeological deposits had taken place in modern times, it was equally possible that such features lay at a considerable depth below the present ground surface. If so, it was considered that they were unlikely to be adversely affected by the proposed development. [Au(adp)]
