Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief was undertaken during the excavation of four observation pits and two boreholes within the underground car park of Moor House and three observation pits external to the building. OP2 revealed a brickearth quarry sealed by a Roman dirty brickearth deposit. This was truncated by a truncated waterlain deposit. In OP4 waterlain fills with a high organic content were revealed, which probably represented part of the City Ditch or, perhaps less likely, part of a large cess pit. Waterlain fills of the City Ditch were observed in OP5. In borehole 4 up to 0.7m of fill of possible archaeological nature was revaeled. The report concluded that the City Ditch survived to a depth of 1.3m beneath the top of the basement concrete slab in the southern end of the site. To the north of the site there was more modern disturbance but truncated Roman quarrying was observed to a depth of 1.22m below the concrete slab. [Au(adp)]
