Abstract:		 A watching brief monitored the excavation of a service run to the south and west of the football pitch and ground reduction in a proposed works compound area towards the west of the site. Natural clay was exposed immediately beneath the asphalt surface in the compound area and below rather more extensive recent deposits in the western half of the service trench. These recent deposits appear to have been associated with earlier demolition and development on the site, which also probably truncated the upper levels of the natural clay. Natural clay was not exposed in the eastern half of the service trench as recent deposits extended to the base of the trench, indicating a greater level of disturbance here and suggesting it was very unlikely that earlier deposits would have survived. Elsewhere on the site, disturbance of earlier deposits is also likely to have been severe. The lack of deposits overlying natural clay in the compound area suggests significant truncation on the west of the site whilst creation of a level football pitch involved extensive terracing and levelling of the natural slope over a large part of the central and northern part of the site, which is likely to have removed any archaeological deposits or remains. Overall, the watching brief has demonstrated that any potential archaeological remains are likely to have been significantly truncated or removed by recent developments in the areas investigated. Consequently, given the extent of previous development, it is likely that the potential archaeological resource across the entire site has been severely compromised.
