Abstract:		 The Archaeological evaluation consisted of two trenches measuring 8m x 4m. Trenches were sited in accordance with a pre-agreed trench plan using a Leica Smartrover GPS to a tolerance of 0.025m. The same GPS was later utilised to locate drawn plans and sections and to take spot heights within the trenches. Each trench was opened using a mechanical excavator fitted with a toothless ditching bucket under continuous archaeological supervision. Excavation was undertaken in spits to the first archaeological/natural horizon. Each trench was cleaned by hand to expose and clarify archaeological features. Pre-excavation photographs were taken of exposed archaeology and each cleaned trench. All archaeological features were drawn and recorded at an appropriate scale and were sample excavated in accordance with agreed strategies and to agreed proportions. All features and trenches were tied into Ordnance Survey, all deposits were levelled and their spot heights calculated in metres above Ordnance Datum (aOD). Trench 1 was sited within the footprint of four back-to-back terraced houses identified from historic maps with the aims of identifying the extent of their preservation below ground, and characterising the style and methods used in their construction. Features uncovered included floors, staircases and walls related to the cellars within the back-to-back houses. Additionally, remains of a later drain between the houses was uncovered. Trench 2 was sited on the location of apparent outbuildings identified from historic maps with the aims of establishing the extent of their preservation below ground and describing their character and potential uses. Walls were located, which relate to the toilet block identified in historic maps. The evaluation trenches demonstrated unequivocally that there was good preservation of archaeological remains below the relatively thin layer of modern overburden and that these remains could be clearly correlated with the buildings shown on historic maps of the site.
