Abstract:		 Four 2.5m x 2.5m evaluation trenches were excavated down to naturally-occurring sandy-gravels. Occasional lenses of sand were seen within the gravels and it was noted that they rose up towards the north-west, suggesting a former gravel island. The gravel was overlain by fine alluvium, which varied in thickness because of different levels of recent truncation. In a trench towards the south of the area, a clean sand horizon seen above natural alluvium was interpreted as a windblown dry-land deposit that could have supported occupation. No anthropogenic finds, features or deposits were observed though abraded medieval tile was recovered from a layer just above. A 19th-century brick well was seen cut through the alluvium in another trench and most-likely related to terraced housing built over the area in the late 19th century. The earlier deposits were overlain by redeposited alluvial clay that contained late post-medieval ceramic building material fragments. This in turn was sealed by modern ground-raising and levelling deposits that served as a pre-cursor to the modern concrete slab that covered the area.
