Abstract:		 A watching brief was undertaken during contractors' groundworks to the rear of the standing building. This did not reveal any very significant remains. Roman evidence was limited to three residual finds - two sherds of pottery and one possible fragment of ceramic building material. The most notable discovery was a probable mid-later 12th century pit, indicating settlement in the immediate area. However, both the pit and associated surfaces had been truncated to the level of the natural clay: this event possibly took place in the early post-medieval period, as part of a more general clearance/ levelling of the site. There was some evidence for activity in 16th to 18th centuries, including a small brick retaining wall (c 1550-1700) and a range of earlier post-medieval pottery from clearance. Map evidence shows that the site was developed by the late 18th century, although from the later 19th century to the 1960s the site appears to have been used as a garden. Features from this period included a circular brick-lined pit and a brick wall base of c 1900.
