Abstract:		 The proposed development area is in the vicinity of a number of heritage assets. Therefore, archaeological monitoring during the digging of geotechnical test pits was carried out. In addition to identifying and recording any archaeological features present, the monitoring aimed to locate any ground disturbance which might have destroyed archaeological features and to record the depths of overburden. The archaeological observation and recording were undertaken, in accordance with an approved Written Scheme of Investigation. A total of 24 test pits were excavated. The presence of one undated possible archaeological feature was recorded, The archaeological monitoring has also shown that the depth to the archaeological horizon (undisturbed geology) varies greatly across the area. It has revealed that past usage of the site has undoubtedly had an impact on the potential for the survival of archaeological remains; in places, the ground has been truncated, whilst in others it has been preserved under a build-up of 'made' ground.
