Abstract:		 Watching briefs were carried out at a development site, during different phases of works associated with the demolition of buildings and other more general clearance and construction activity. Work involved monitoring the installation of four strengthening columns in the base of the Woolpack Inn, a Listed Building, as well as recording the north and south elevations of the north wall of the inn in advance of its demolition. Foundation works for retail units, excavation works in the basements of demolished shops, and clearance works were also recorded. The trenches within the cellar of the Woolpack revealed no significant archaeological deposits or artefacts. The cellar floor appeared to have been cut into the natural subsoil, suggesting that any archaeological deposits which had existed in this area had been truncated or removed by the construction of the basement. No evidence for a timber frame was recorded during the watching brief of the north wall, although a number of re-used structural timbers within the wall were noted. A well which appeared to have been of post-medieval date was discovered in the area to the rear of the NatWest bank building. No significant archaeological deposits were identified along the Stricklandgate street frontage, since large areas had been cellared, and the undisturbed area to the north of the NatWest bank compried undisturbed natural deposits, apparently due to its having been covered by standing buildings.
