Abstract:		 Six test pits beneath the tower of Moor House were monitored. The test pits revealed that archaeological deposits survived between the pile caps beneath the tower of Moor House. A similar sequence to that encountered in the first area of excavation Area 1 within the underground car part to the east of Moor House was observed. This consisted of natural sand sealed by brickearth with grey occupation layer and reddish brown marsh layer covering it. Cut through these layers were a number of features filled with waterlain deposits, most likely representing drainage ditches and similar features encountered in Area 1. The archaeological layers extended to a maximum depth of 1.06m below the concrete slab (TP3) whilst the deepest cut feature (the cess pit in TP4) extended to a maximum depth of 1.37m below the concrete slab. No archaeological deposits appeared to have survived in the extreme west of Moor House, where only modern concrete and backfill was encountered (TPs 5 & 6). Together with the results of OP1 from the geotechnical test pits this suggested that archaeological deposits did not survive around at least the northern and western peripheries of the site.
