Abstract:		 All archaeological excavation, monitoring and recording during the evaluation was carried out according to the Written Scheme of Investigation. The slab was broken out by hand and cleared by contractors under MOLA supervision. The trench was excavated by hand by MOLA archaeologists. Due to time constraints, modern obstructions and health and safety concerns only two trenches were excavated (Trench 1 and 2), one of which (Trench 2) had to be abandoned due to the presence of a live service and some modern concrete structures. These trenches were then located on a plan of the existing building by offsetting from adjacent walls. The trenches were then plotted onto the OS grid by MOLA Geomatics The evaluation comprised of one evaluation trench measuring 2.00m by 2.00m and 2.10m deep. A hand auger was used to reach natural horizons 3.40m below ground level (BGL), at -0.30m OD. The results of the field evaluation have helped to refine the initial assessment of the archaeological potential of the site. Within the trench deposits likely dating from the Roman period through to the 19th century to be present, and in this location untruncated by 19th and 20th century construction. Characterization of the type of remains or deposits was not possible, with broad interpretations of either horizontal stratigraphy or fills of localized features being used to describe the lower deposits identified in the auger hole. The highest level of potential Roman archaeology is thought to be 0.60m OD. The new development would consist of a 14 storey tower with a basement. The proposed floor level for the new basement is -1.1m OD, with consolidation work, piling and foundations extending further. The new development would extend 0.80m below the level of natural indicated in the evaluation trench, as such all archaeological remains would be removed.
