Abstract:		 The watching brief recorded natural brickearth in both trenches, which had been horizontally truncated by the construction of the basement. The highest level recorded for the brickearth was at 13.95m OD which was 0.40m below the basement floor level. Cutting the brickearth in Trench 2 were two pits, one undated; the other filled with domestic refuse and dated to the early 16th century. A series of mid 16th century dumped deposits were also recorded in Trench 2 which were cut by a well dating to the early 17th century. This evidence seems to support other archaeological works carried out in the near vicinity of the study site, which recorded a series of 16th century dumped deposits. The dumped deposits may have occurred as a result of a ground consolidation exercise during the 16th century in order to allow construction on a previously marshy area. Trench 1 revealed the natural brickearth was truncated to a depth of 1.70m below the basement floor level. No evidence for any pre 16th century structures or cut features was recorded on the study site.
