Abstract:		 The earliest features recorded on site (Trench 2) appear to have been a number of postholes arranged on an approximate NE-SW orientation. These were interpreted as a fence line pre-dating the construction of the road as they were truncated by a series of pits which were interpreted as Roman quarrying probably associated with the gravel and sand extraction for the construction of the road/s in the area. The earliest post-medieval activity is characterised by two linear intercutting ditch cuts orientated NW-SE which were interpreted as the cut and re-cut, of a property boundary / land division. During the 18th century a cobbled surface was constructed. This surface was interpreted as part of a yard as shown on Horwood map of 1792-9 (Fig. 9.). In the second half of the 19th century the yard went out of use when a series of consolidation deposits were dumped on the cobbled surface. These deposits are very likely to have been associated with the demolition of the building which would have been contemporary with the yard. At some point in the late 19th century the late post-medieval consolidation deposits were truncated when a cellar was constructed. This was located in the SW half of excavation Trench 2. During the early 20th century the 19th century cellar was backfilled and went out of use. This probably coincided with the decision to construct the new basement which occupied most of the NE part of the site.
