Abstract:		 The archaeological watchng brief monitored the excavation of the foundations for a new double garage. This identified a simple deposit sequence of a modern imported topsoil and a substantial made ground deposit of later post-medieval origin, which in turn sealed a buried topsoil horizon of earlier post-medieval date and a buried limestone wall footing. These were in turn above a natural horizon of cornbrash. Although no datable finds were recovered from any of these deposits or structure, the sequence of activity on this site was clearly apparent. It was also clear that this development was constructed on a raised garden terrace that was above a natural downward slope to the north. The buried topsoil horizon represented an original ground surface of earlier post-medieval date into which had been excavated the foundations of a probable outbuilding of later post-medieval origin. An infilled window opening with timber lintel within the fabric of the western site boundary wall was probably associated with this buried footing. The ground levels within the area of the development site had then been built up with a substantial made ground deposit to create the present garden terrace. Onto this an inported modern topsoil was subsequently deposited. The build up of ground levels had truncated the buried topsoil and wall foundation. No archaeological features, deposits, structures or finds associated with the late Anglo-Saxon burh or with the medievcal suburb of St Martins were found.
