Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief and archaeological evaluation by trial-trenching were carried out in advance of redevelopment of the site for mixed commercial and residential purposes. The watching brief monitored the excavation of eight geotechnical pits against the walls of standing buildings and recorded little more than recent made ground. The evaluation involved the excavation of three trenches, one in an extern al car park and two within a garage/warehouse building. Although heavily truncated in some areas, natural Quaternary Terrace sands and gravels were recorded in two of the evaluation trenches and there was limited evidence for post-medieval agricultural activity towards the north of the site. The main phases of development on the site dated from the early 19th century onwards, though residual artefactual material from earlier periods was also recovered from contexts. The earliest post-agricultural layers identified comprised a number of dumping and ground-raising deposits, recorded in two of the trenches. These dated from the early 19th century but in the early to mid 19th century there was structural development along the south of the site, with the basements of two buildings exposed in the trench located in this area. Further dumping continued into the later 19th century and there was a secondary phase of structural development at this time, which saw the addition of external toilet structures to the rears of the buildings on the White Lion Frontage, as well as some further ephemeral structural development to the north. The 19th-century buildings occupied the southern part of the site into the post-war area but were subsequently demolished and the site redeveloped for garage servicing and car parking facilities. The evaluation revealed evidence of deliberate infilling of the basements with demolition rubble at the time of redevelopment and subsequent laying of concrete surfaces
