Abstract:		 In 2022 the watching brief monitored the reduction of the ground within the footprint of the extension by excavator as well as the hand excavation of 11 beam holes for the installation of retaining walls. Initially the area, was reduced by 1.2–1.5 m below the garden surface level. This area was then extended to the east and 11 beam holes were then excavated, each 1 m long, 0.5 m wide and 2.1 m bgl. During these works human remains were encountered 1.84 m bgl, within beam hole 11. The excavations were halted and redesigns for the foundations were drawn. Once works recommenced in April 2023 the excavation of an E-shaped trench (trench 5) was monitored, this was excavated a further 0.3–0.5 m from the already reduced ground level. Overall, the excavations resulted in a ground level reduction of approximately 1.5 m in the eastern portion of the site and 2 m within trench 5. The watching brief observed continuations of deposits and structures seen during the evaluation as well as additional post-medieval and modern structures and two probable graves. The majority of deposits encountered are modern in date with residual material from the Romano-British to post-medieval periods. The graves most likely date to the Romano-British period considering the site’s location within the known eastern cemetery, and Romano-British graves within 50 m of the site. Although, no material was recovered from the grave to conclusively date it. A single possible medieval deposit was observed in the north-east corner of the site, although the dating of this layer is not secure due to the heavy disturbance throughout the observed deposits.
