Abstract:		 A limited archaeological excavation on part of the proposed site of the new police station was undertaken. The excavation was recommended following an archaeological evaluation in 1995 which revealed features of archaeological interest to the south-east of the Salvation Army Hall. The purpose of the excavation was to trace the extent of the ditches revealed during the evaluation and to ascertain their date and purpose. It was also hoped that further evidence for prehistoric activity on the site would be revealed. While residual prehistoric and Roman finds were discovered, indicating activity of the periods in the locality, the features within the excavation trench appeared to be a series of intercutting ditches producing artefacts ranging from the 13th to the 16th century. They were sealed by ploughsoil in the 16th century. The ditches appeared to be on the same alignment as those observed during the evaluation, but were not easily matched up, they were, however, probably associated. The ditches were probably roadside drains and may additionally have been property markers. [AIP]
