Abstract:		 Watching brief comprised the archaeological monitoring of the excavation of six areas around the perimeter of the proposed stadium. No archaeological features pre-dating 1930 were present within the monitored areas. Structural remains, probably relating to the final phase (1930-1960) of the construction of the Guest and Chrimes factory, were identified within four of the six areas. Natural clays, which were only exposed in pockets across the site, were present at a depth of 1.7m to 2m below the existing ground level. The natural clays were overlain by a thick layer of make-up which almost certainly derived from the reclamation of land for the final building phase of the Guest and Chrimes factory, whereby waste from the foundry was deliberately used to level-up the land prior to expansion. The monitoring work revealed that any potential archaeological deposits pre-dating 1930 would be deeply buried beneath a thick layer of make-up, therefore only deep excavation on the site would have the potential to impact upon natural ground and any existing archaeological deposits. Only pockets of natural ground were exposed during the works, therefore the potential for archaeological deposits on the site, which pre-date the modern period, remains largely unknown.
