Abstract:		 Following the demolition of the existing foyer, three test pits were excavated in the proposed position of three foundation pads for the new foyer and a fourth was positioned in the north of the site to the rear of Nos 2 and 4 Sackville Street. A single large pit containing small quantities of medieval pottery dating to c 1150-1400 and animal bone was revealed in the centre of the site. Together with an inter-cutting but otherwise undated pit/posthole, this feature provides limited evidence of medieval activity that may have been related to the Franciscan friary. Probable construction cuts perhaps associated with former structural foundations relating to the 20th-century church and a number of construction/demolition and levelling deposits attest to the redevelopment of the site in the 19th and 20th centuries. The varied levels at which the underlying natural geology of sand and gravel were encountered within the test pits also demonstrate the degree of truncation that has occurred on site
