Abstract:		 The watching brief monitored the excavation by machine of a single foundation trench for the erection of scaffolding around City House, which is being retained and refurbished as part of the new development. It also monitored ground reduction on an Open Area located to the immediate east of City House. The trench measured approximately 60.0m north-south by 5.0m wide, and was positioned to the east of City House. It was excavated to a maximum depth of 1.0m. The sequence within the trench was seen to be natural terrace gravel, sealed by natural brickearth sealed by natural subsoil, and overlain by a 19th century levelling layer, which was capped by a 0.10m steel reinforced concrete surface. Modern drainage service trenches, aligned north south, were seen cut from below the concrete. No pre-19th century archaeological remains were encountered during the watching brief The top of the subsoil, a possibly significant archaeological horizon, was located at a depth of 0.40m below ground level and appears not to have been disturbed by terracing associated with the construction of City House.
