Abstract:		 The evaluation required the excavation and recording of a single trench measuring 20m by 2m within the proposed development area. The presence of a live service approximately at the mid-point of the trench required that a baulk be left and the trench was extended by two metres at either end in order to maintain the sample. In the event only the two 2m extensions at either end of the trench were fully excavated, due to the height of the water table combined with an identical stratigraphic sequence at either end of the trench. The trench location is shown on Figure 2. No archaeological finds or features were identified during the course of the project. The evaluation has revealed that the site has suffered from significant modern disturbance. The site has clearly been made up in modern times, with a layer of geotechnical membrane (Terram) sealing the natural ground. The car park surface is at the same level as the surrounding water-meadows and it is therefore clear that subsoil and topsoil had been previously stripped from the site, prior to the deposition of the made ground. The presence of the Terram at the base of the made ground indicates that this was of relatively recent occurrence. The watertable was present at a depth of 0.83m from the modern ground surface. The results of the evaluation have indicated that the site is of low archaeological potential
