| Abstract: |
The watching brief involved the excavation of two exploratory trenches and ten foundations trenches. Most of the site was found to comprise made ground set on the natural sands, gravels and clays but significant archaeology was found within some of the trenches. Two stone-lined culverts were exposed, one of which was of irregular construction and though to pre-date the mid-nineteenth century foundation of the school. The second culvert was of a more regular construction with a find of a blue and white glazed porcelain sherd of late eighteenth to twentieth century date although actual construction may have been earlier. A fairly substantial, yet partially collapsed wall was also uncovered. Although founded in natural ground, it had been buried under the overburden produced from the levelling from the construction of the school, It was interpreted as a possible field boundary, but the date of its construction remains unclear.
