Abstract:		 The archaeological monioring of the garage/garden store revealed at least six undated clay extraction pits, which had all been cut into a natural horizon of alluvial clays. The backfills of these pits were overlian by a number of undated dump deposits. These deposits had probably been laid down in order to build up contemporary ground levels, possibly acting as flood alleviation measures as this site is situated to the immediate north of the River Welland. The date of this process is uncertain, though it is possible to speculate that it may be post-medieval in date following the demolition of the medieval town wall, the line of which extends along the southern site boundary. The dump deposits were characterised by their loose and unconsolidated nature and because they contained building demolition material includng angular limestone fragments. Several contained burnt material comprising ash, clinker and burnt soil. Unfortunately, none of these deposits yielded any datable material. These dump deposits were below a modern made ground deposit and a modern toposil, the former of which yielded two residual sherds of 10th - mid 11th century pottery, one residual sherd of 18th entury date and six sherds of 19th - 20th century origin. The archaeological monitoring of two service trenches identified two undated made ground deposits below a succession of compacted yard surfaces. These made ground deposits were similar to the dump deposits encountered in the first monitored area and are similarly interpreted as further evidence of flood alleviation. These deposits similarly did not yield any datable finds. The line of the medieval town wall was not detected during the excavation of the second service trench to the gated site entrance at the Wharf Road.
