Abstract:		 Natural gravel and Natural brickearth deposits were recorded during the investigation of two windows cut through the existing basement walls in Area B and to a certain extent the watching brief was successful in demonstrating and defining the upper height of the natural deposits in the vicinity of these areas of investigation. The watching brief has demonstrated that occupation deposits dating to the Roman period and cut features dating to the medieval period remain in situ in those areas where basements are not present. The watching brief further demonstrated that masonry remains dating to the 18th century, and probably associated with structures fronting East Street, exist below the current ground surface in the south of the site. In addition the watching brief also found evidence for structural repairs to the masonry some time after its construction. Results from the watching brief suggest that the basements in the southern area of the site will have removed any horizontal stratigraphy that once existed and it is anticipated that only deeply cut features will have survived below the basement construction horizon. In addition the watching brief demonstrated that areas fronting East Street previously believed to be unbasemented do contain subterranean structures. Furthermore the watching brief demonstrated that in unbasemented areas significant ground reduction has taken place. The recorded archaeological sequence in the southwest of of the site showed that horizontally lain deposits post-dating the Roman period no longer exist whilst in the central area it is postulated that 20th century ground reduction has largely removed the horizontal archaeological sequence with only intrusive features remaining. The consequent results suggest that whilst Roman, medieval and post-medieval archaeological deposits do remain in situ in the south of the site, their survival is anticipated as being limited, particulrly along the frontage of East Street.
